details of death
At the end of World War I, on 16.10.1918, the Emperor of Austria, Charles I, issued a manifesto Germ. Völkermanifest — „To My Faithful Austrian Subjects” — announcing the transformation of Austria–Hungary into a federal state. Not only did it not prevent the disintegration of the Empire, but it actually accelerated it. The issue of the imperial province and crown land, Germ. Königreich Galizien und Lodomerien (Eng. Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria), became a burning one, which turned into an open Polish–Ukrainian conflict. The first to attack were the Ukrainians — slightly outnumbering people of Polish nationality, especially in the villages, while in the cities the Poles significantly outnumbered them — who already on 01.11.1918 announced the establishment of the West Ukrainian People's Republic ZUNR and at the same time attacked the capital of Eastern Galicia, Lviv. The Polish–Ukrainian war 1918‐1919 began.
The Ukrainians failed to capture Lviv, the siege of the city began, and the front of the Polish–Ukrainian battles ran more or less along the line Sambir–Lviv–Belz–Volodymyr‐Volynskyi.
His Potelych parish found itself close to the front line. Rava‐Ruska, an important railway junction with connections to Jarosław and Lublin, c. 6 km away, came under Ukrainian control (as did the deanery seat — Zhovkva). On 26.11.1918 however, Rava‐Ruska was retaken by Polish troops.
In the following months, Rava‐Ruska and nearby villages were attacked by Ukrainians several times.
During one such attack on his parish, was shot through the elbow of his left hand.
The wound, untreated in a war conditions, began to fester.
Suffering and fear caused him to suffer from a nervous breakdown.
Was taken to a psychiatric hospital, where perished shortly afterwards.
It was not until the Polish offensive, begun on 14.05.1919, under the command of General Joseph Haller, that the battle front moved c. 150 km to the east and south, to a line defined by the Zbruch and Dniester rivers. In the words of its commander, „the entire enemy line was broken under the powerful blow of [the soldiers'] chests and the enemy ring surrounding Lviv collapsed”.

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
