Summary/Abstract: In this source publication, we present two shorter recollections by Kálmán Dercsényi, former lieutenant of the 15th (Mátyás) Hussar Regiment. As a member of the unit, the author took part in the Transylvanian battles until the spring of 1849. Both retrospectives focus on the events of early February 1849, vividly recalling the battles around Vízakna, with a particular emphasis on his personal connection with General Bem and his encounter with Sándor Petőfi. Kálmán Dercsényi presents the events in an engaging style, primarily intended for the press and interested readers.
