A Polish squadron of 70 uhlans, led by Rittmeister Zbigniew Dunin-Wasowicz, attacked positions of the Imperial Russian Army.

In the first days of June, 2nd and 3rd uhlan squadrons were merged into the 2nd Regiment of the Legions Cavalry, under command of Rittmeister Zbigniew Dunin-Wasowicz.

The service was led by Reverend Jozef Panas, coffin of Dunin-Wasowicz was covered with red cloth with Polish Eagle.

Since in the interwar period the cemetery at Rarancza was part of Romania, a Polish ally (see Polish–Romanian alliance), Romanian 11th Rosiori Regiment [ro] took care of the tombs.

All remains were transported to Poland, and on February 26, 1923, in Kraków, an official funeral took place, with such notable figures present at the ceremony, as Józef Piłsudski and Cardinal Adam Sapieha.

It also is mentioned in The Red Poppies on Monte Cassino, one of the best-known Polish military songs of World War II.
