details of death
During World War I drafted on 01.05.1917 — after ordination — into Austro–Hungarian Imperial Army.
From 1917 till 01.1918 ministered in the „epidemic hospital” in Kraków, i.e. probably in the Institute for the Mentally and Nervously Ill in Kobierzyn near Kraków (today a district of that city).
Next chaplain of the front units of the Austro–Hungarian Army — till c. 07.1918 in 59th Infantry Division (prob. 59th Infantry Regiment that in 1915 fought in Galicia), and next till 11.1918 in 1st Galicia Cavalry Regiment (then of infantry character).
After Poland regained independence in 11.1918 prob. found himself in Lviv, then under siege by the Ukrainians.
On 10.01.1919 the siege was lifted when Academic Legionnaires 36th Infantry Regiment — formed in 11‐12.1918 in Warsaw which on 13.12.1918 made their vows of faithful and dedicated service to the Polish Republic — entered the city.
And on 14.01.1919 became its chaplain.
From then on his fate was linked to the service of this unit.
Till 06.1919 took part in battles with Ukrainians during Polish–Ukrainian war of 1918‐1919. „In Chortkiv in 1919, cut off [from his Regiment] with a small group by the Ukrainians, but rejected the offer of the local population to hide in a safe place, but with a handful of soldiers broke through the enemy and returned to his Regiment” — from the application for the Virtuti Militari order.
On 08.07.1919 the Regiment returned to Warsaw to be sent to Belarus on 10.09.1919 — at the first stage of the Polish–Russian war of 1919‐1921 — when undertook patol duties along Daugava river, from Polotsk to Romel. „Decided to visit all the posts before Christmas to bring a festive holiday atmosphere there; while visiting the posts fell and broke his shoulder blade. Despite severe illness carried out his plan to the end” (Ibid.).
On 14.05.1920 Russian invasion started — along the whole northern front line.
On 03.06.1920 the Regiment, then part of 8th Infantry Division of the 1st Army took part in victorious battle at Dunylovychy on Beresina river. „Personally directed the collection of the wounded under enemy fire, captured peasant carts and put the wounded on them himself, wanting to protect his wounded at all costs from falling into the hands of the enemy” (Ibid.).
From 04.07.1920 the Regiment was in retreat, and through Vilya river and Solechnyky Velyke reached Lida. „Despite a severe case of angina that has been going on for several weeks, does not want to go to the hospital and leave the Regiment. With his neck tied up, marches, sharing all the hardships of this difficult period” (Ibid.).
Near Lida caught out by a Russian unit: stripped of his cassock and murdered, with two shots and 6 saber cuts.

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
