The 71st appears to have been made up of Hungarian troops.
The racial composition of the original 102 infantry regiments and the Jäger battalions was as follows:
Number of Regiments Nationality Regiments
41 Hungarian Nr.2, 5, 6, 12, 19, 23, 25, 26, 29, 31, 32, 33, 34, 37, 38, 39, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 51, 52, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 71, 72, 76, 82, 83, 85, 86, 101

When Austria-Hungary mobilised in August 1914, the strength of the common army infantry was 102 infantry regiments (Nr.1-102) and 4 Bosnian-Hercegovinian infantry regiments (Nr.1-4). Each of these regiments had 4 field battalions each of 4 companies and a replacement cadre staff (Ersatzkader) which was expanded into a replacement battalion. Additionally each battalion had a machine-gun detachment with two machine guns.
