An interesting photograph depicting a patriotic ceremony attended by military personnel and young people. At the center of the event is Gen. Józef Haller (1873–1960), in uniform, with a visible dark armband worn as a sign of mourning for his brother Cezary, who fell on January 26, 1919, during the battles for Cieszyn Silesia.
The photograph was taken during the general’s visit to Kończyce Małe on June 12, 1919. The event was described in detail in the June 17, 1919, issue of *Gwiazdka Cieszyńska*. The general, who had arrived at the site of his brother’s death, was greeted by delegations of local residents, clergy, teachers, and schoolchildren, who presented him with flowers and a commemorative sample of soil from the site where Cezary Haller fell.
