Found a couple of more pictures. These are in the book: Book of the glory of Infantry, published 1937.
Here is a book called: "Sepetember's Trail" published in 1944 in Palestine by the "White Eagle Library" It has diffrent stories about September 1939 told by Gen Anders, Gen Prugar-Ketling and others. One story has Col. (Gen) Szwarcenberg-Czerny in it.
The story is called "With General Sosnkowski " and is told by Col(Gen) Prugar-Ketling.
This paragraph is called " As in 1863" (Polish 1863 Uprising).
General Sosnkowski was going to break through to Lwow.
"It is getting dark. There are reports that germans have taken the town (Brzuchowice), that strong german patrols are sneaking through the forest to where the rest of polish artillery is placed.
One more try. In the front oldest officers: General Sosnkowski, Gen Lukowski, colonels Prugar-Ketling, SZWARCENBERG-CZERNY, Wir-Konas, Mojawski, Demel, Wisniewski, rest of HQ, and then some soldiers. They are going forward.... They start taking enemy fire...
Col Prugar-Ketling tells General Sosnkowski to go and try to get through by himself to Lwow, Gen Sosnkowski tells him "If I had another 11th Karpatian Division I would get to Lwow. We shall fight as in 1863.."
And they are close to Dubno. They are standing in front of first lighted house, there are no more than 150 of them left. HQ is going inside: Gen Sosnkowski, Gen Lukowski, Col SZWARCENBERG-CZERNY, Col Wir-Konas and others.
Col Prugar-Ketling and others leave ,force marching, leaving Gen Sosnkowski and some others behind, and later get surrounded by a soviet cavalry regiment.
They are starting to talk with soviets who are telling them of course we will let You go, we are Your friends. General Lukowski and Colonel Wir-Konas get in a soviet vehicle to go to soviet headqurters to talk about surrender. Their bio below is from "Charkov- Ksiega Cmentarna"
Colonel Prugar-Ketling and Cpt deVille hide between soldiers and escape in to the forest.
