Dear Jean, While we are currently preoccupied with regiments quite different from the 41st Infantry Regiment, and I wish it were not so, I posted two historical volumes online in July 2017 on this subject:
https://czernowitzbook.blogspot.com/2017/07/geschichte-des-k-und-k.html Unfortunately, I can't find any more data on your grandfather Robert Oling either, but you may still find these books a bit helpful. Warmest wishes!

Robert was born in Zablotow in 1881. He lived in Czernowitz from the early 1900s until about 1919. I have not found military records for Robert in the archives in Vienna, nor in the Ukrainian archives. However, I recently received a bundle of papers in which Robert gave the following details of his military service: 1903 - 16 months active service in Austrian army in Czernowitz 1914 to 1917 - served in the Czernowitz 41st Infantry Regiment 1917 to 1919 - in Russian captivity 1919 - released back to Czernowitz I am looking for information about the 41st Infantry Regiment (named Erzherzog Eugen K und K Infanterieregiment), particularly: any information about the movements of the Regiment during World War I any information about the Regiment’s captivity in Russia during and after World War I I wonder if list members have information about grandfathers and great-grandfathers who fought in World War I. If anyone knows of the existence in archives of the Czernowitz military records, I would be pleased to know where they are located. Does anyone know of good on-line sources that deal specifically with this Regiment?
