Summary/Abstract: The Great War of 1914-18 that embroiled all Europe had a particular impact on the people inhabiting its central and eastern parts. One of the most important issues at that time was the problem of war migrations that in this area affected several millions of people. The presented text brings up the little known question of the war experience of the inhabitants of Galicia who most of that period lived as refugees or prisoners of war in the territory of the Russian Empire.
