The march by Wąwolnica

Description

 

In the winter of 1863, the insurgents, pursued all the way from Krężnica, searched for supplies, since they needed warm clothing, shoes and food. When the Russian units stationed in the vicinity found out about the uprising unit present in their section, they sent all their forces to liquidate the insurgents. Well equipped, armed to the teeth, and a few times larger, several Russian squads were literally treading on the Poles’ heels. The insurgents marched incessantly, trying to detach from the enemy. On December 19, 1863, they quickly marched through Wąwolnica and reached the village of Góry, where the overwhelming Russian forces caught up with them and attacked them. At the edge of Góry, your current location, the combined units of Majors Leniecki, Marecki and Gozdawa fought a battle against the terrifying Russian forces. Despite the enormous disproportion in the forces, the insurgents managed not to get dispersed and for several hours successfully beat off the attacks of the Russian hussars and dragons. However, faced with the threat of encirclement by the Russians, the insurgents fought their way through the enemy’s forces through the village of Przybysławice toward Wola Przybysławska. The detailed description of the battle is available under the history tab at the website www.markuszow.pl. Amateur historians with metal detectors found tsar soldiers buttons and rifle bullets on the battle site.
