Lwów Eaglets

[1] The city now known in Ukrainian as Lviv (Polish: Lwów) was, before the Dissolution of Austria-Hungary, known as Lemberg and was the capital of Emperor Karl's Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria.

The Cemetery of the Defenders held the remains of both teenaged and adult soldiers, including foreign volunteers from France and the United States.

The Cemetery of the Defenders of Lwów was designed by Rudolf Indruch, a student at the Lviv Institute of Architecture, himself an Eaglet.

After the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the formation of an independent Ukraine, work began on the restoration of the cemetery despite obstruction from local nationalists.

However, Polish support for the 2004 Ukrainian Orange Revolution greatly weakened local opposition, and the cemetery was officially reopened in a joint Polish-Ukrainian ceremony on 24 June 2005.
