When the Lithuanian army began to be recreated as Lithuania regained its independence, Lukšys organized a group of volunteers.

[1] In the Kėdainiai county, Lukšys was involved in battles against Soviet Russian units that were attacking in the direction of Kaunas.

Its shape symbolized the triangular sign of the volunteers and the three terraces represented the three colors of the national flag of Lithuania.

A staircase was installed in the middle of the lower terrace, and the Vytis cross with oak branches and the inscription was carved on the front plane of the pyramid: "On 9 February 1919 volunteer soldier Povilas Lukšys died here in battles with the Russian Red Army – the first victim of Lithuania's Independence".

[2] The monument stood in Taučiūnai until 1962, when it was demolished by order of the Kėdainiai Communist Party Committee,[1] the plot was plowed and planted with beets.
