“ In the name of our national honor, in the name of all that is most dear to us as men and as Czechoslovaks, with full realization of this step, we swear to fight alongside of our allies to the last drop of our blood, against all our enemies, until we have obtained complete liberation of our Czechoslovak nation, until the Czech and Slovak lands are reunited into a free and independent Czechoslovak state, until our nation is absolute mistress of her destinies. ”

“ Throwing off for ever all ties that bound us to the Hapsburgs and to the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and remembering all the wrongs that had for centuries been committed upon our people and remain unavenged, we, Czechoslovak soldiers of the first revolutionary army created beyond the frontiers of our country, take this solemn oath before our beloved Czechoslovak nation and before the chiefs of our revolutionary movement in foreign lands, the Czechoslovak National Council with Professor Masaryk at its head. ”
