During World War I in 1914‐1918 chaplain of the Army of the Austro–Hungarian Monarchy. Actually served in field hospitals in Kraków.
There, too — after the armistice and ceasefire between the Allies and Germany signed on 11.11.1918 in a staff wagon in Compiègne, in the headquarters of Marshal Ferdinand Foch of France (which meant de facto the end of World War I) and the proclamation of the Emperor of Austria–Hungary, Charles I of Habsburg, resigning from participation in government (which de facto meant the dissolution of the monarchy), after the Regency Council of the so‐called Kingdom of Poland established by Germany and Austria–Hungary transferred supreme authority over the army to Brigadier Joseph Piłsudski and appointed him Commander‐in‐Chief of the Polish Army (which meant de facto the rebirth of the Polish state) — became chaplain of the Polish Army.
During the wars for Polish borders — the Polish–Ukrainian war of 1918‐1919 and the Polish–Russian war of 1919‐1921 — served in the „epidemic hospital”, which prob. means the the Mentally and Nervously Ill Institute in Kobierzyn near Kraków (today a district of that city).

Polish‐Russian war of 1919‐1921: War for independence of Poland and its borders. Poland regained independence in 1918 but had to fight for its borders with former imperial powers, in particular Russia. Russia planned to incite Bolshevik‐like revolutions in the Western Europe and thus invaded Poland. Russian invaders were defeated in 08.1920 in a battle called Warsaw battle („Vistula river miracle”, one of the 10 most important battles in history, according to some historians). Thanks to this victory Poland recaptured part of the lands lost during partitions of Poland in XVIII century, and Europe was saved from the genocidal Communism.

Polish‐Ukrainian war of 1918‐1919: One of the wars for borders of the newly reborn Poland. At the end of 1918 on the former Austro‐Hungarian empire’s territory, based on the Ukrainian military units of the former Austro‐Hungarian army, Ukrainians waged war against Poland. In particular attempted to create foundation of an independent state and attacked Lviv. Thanks to heroic stance of Lviv inhabitants, in particular young generation of Poles — called since then Lviv eaglets — the city was recaptured by Poles and for a number of months successfully defended against furious Ukrainian attacks. In 1919 Poland — its newly created army — pushed Ukrainian forces far to the east and south, regaining control over its territory. (more on: en.wikipedia.orgClick to attempt to display webpage
