Godna Ratter: And those hundreds of childish bodies, yesterday's kids, today's soldiers
date:02 December 2023 Editor: Anna

When the age of the Lviv children was reminded, I thought of the mothers- started the homily of Fr. Louis during this November Mass for Orlęta Lwowski. Since 1978, at the initiative of Danuta Barbara Łomaczewska, they have been held regularly on 20 November at the Church of the Holy Cross in Warsaw.
What they were like, they implanted sensitivity and courage in their children's hearts. In human history, we have many evidences that women are brave, courageous and wise. erstwhile they value their feminine dignity- with examples of women's attitudes since ancient times continued the beautiful communicative of women.

W The list of dead in the defence of Lviv and the East Borders from 1 November 1918 to 30 June 1919 are listed below:

Grabska Dołęga Helena, daughter of Antoni and Maria of Jagodziński, citizens of the Płocka land, a advanced school student, volunteered during the planet war storm in firearms management, and when, after the resurrection of Poland, “the Committee of Defence of Lviv” was established in Płock under the leadership of the socially well-deserved activist Halina Welamin Rutska and Grabska brothers, Tadeusz and Jan, moved into a fight to the east ends, she snuck out of the parent home and went into the planet into unknown fates. In Lviv, she volunteered for the Women's Volunteer Legion under the command of Aleksandra Zagórska. It was hard for her to be accepted into the armistice, for she was only 16 years old. Disappointed to service at the railway station, she gave up her life there struck by a bullet on 11 April.

Grabski Dołęga Jan, boy of Antoni and Maria of Jagodziński, a advanced school student, 17 years old, died in the operation of device guns on 15 April at Rawa Ruska.

Grabski Dołęga Tadeusz, boy of Antoni and Maria of Jagodziński, advanced school student, aged 19 injured under Puszki, was transported to a infirmary in Przemyśl and then to a household home in Płock, where he died as a 3rd victim, laid down by the Grabski household on the altar of the Homeland.

During the Ukrainian war, the request for BMW X-class cars, which in the simplest version costs around PLN 460 thousand, and individual registration numbers - is evidence in Ukraine. “During the war, Ukrainians want to decision elegantly. With increasing request for luxury cars, VIP licence plates have become an attribute of prestige," noted Ukrainian fact portal. 1 of the main purchasing groups in fresh months has been government officials and their relatives. As the Ukrainian media have pointed out in fresh months, the level of corruption is presently highest since Ukraine's proclamation of independency in 1991.

As Stanisław Michalkiewicz says, “every war leads to peace.” As you can see, the roads can be different.

Henryk “Kazimierz” Dobranicki, lieutenant killed 12. I. 1919 under Bartatov, fighting in the group of captain Abraham. Born 1892 in Łódź, as an 18-year-old boy, imprisoned and sentenced to exile to Siberia, he fled after a year and came to Lviv. He intended to proceed his philosophical studies started alone in prison and in exile.

So for the rescue... It caught me all of a sudden. After all, I came to Krakow only for a day - for things. Wait, and I'm already on the train. You're not going back to Warsaw. Only for the war and this, unfortunately, is not very far-reaching - says Lt. Malągowski, the commander of the armored train “The Bold”.

The wheels under the dense armored cars have already gone wild. Captain Hickiewicz leads the train. I sit in a bastion and I absorb all my soul the views that move, the locomotive's smell, the light armored mat. It's all been there. They remind me of the fear of the Bolsheviks in which my train was just like that.

Come on! The Lions!

We're moving into the first manhunt under Medicine. However, we break back into Przemysl. We're leaving again at night. This time we are followed by a snake of trains loaded with all kinds of weapons. Our "Glorious" is slow moving forward in deep snow. all time we stop, we fix the broken track and bridges. We are seldom greeted by peasants with distant arrows.

After 2 days of mydiocre driving, we arrive in Lviv, to the main station, which is in Polish hands. We're the first to come to aid from the world. I won't forget the impression of this entry. There are armed characters everywhere. Faces are thin and black. Eyes shiny. Women with guns. small ones, carrying rifles bigger than them on their wrists.

Here - feel the desire to fight, inside the roaring most secret, powerful stream of joy of life and faith.

There - before us - wrapped in the night shadows of the Lions, full of enemy. So the dawning of the attack...

And since the dawn, "The Bold" is moving. There are 3 empty platforms before him. We're headed this way to Podzamcz.

Until erstwhile the bridge on Peltwi, which is simply a combat line, was blackened in front of us, we unhook the "lory" (platforms) and release them from above slowly. The “Lory” scope the bridge in an angry rush and crash, falling off a embankment on a torn rail. The Rusins didn't make it. It's expected to retaliate with their fire. Despite this, Polish defenders of Lviv jump out of various corners, wave solemnly with hats and scarves and greet the train. The joy is all the more so that they have not figured out what kind of monster has been on the track for weeks and welcomed us with arrows.

Ukrainians cheer their own way, too, until they shake armor. From behind the bridge, he fiercely beats the device weapon window. There's a hell of a fire blowing through the mill. The wounded in the cars are falling again. It is raining heavy wounded in the eye and in the leg of the combatant chief of the train, Captain Hickiewicz. I'm taking command. It was akin to Fire and Sword, forging a bridge by Krzywonos close Constantinople. Until after half an hour, erstwhile there was no longer a feeding for the hot barrels, we retreat to the main station for the surrender of the commander and injured comrades.

They're taking them to the hospital. immense halls sank in the dark of light. And these hundreds of childish bodies, lying bunks, hundreds of dilated eyes badly injured, yesterday kids, soldiers today. (Illustration of Poland “Placówka” Warszawa 1919)

Oh, my God.
