Women's detachment of Ukrainian Sich Riflemen

The USS-II women's detachment was a division of the Legion of Ukrainian Sich Riflemen.

The exact number of riflewomen is unknown, as the list of names has not been preserved, there is no information on which unit they were part of, and not all women enrolled in the USS fought.

The names of 34 women who were probably at the front are known, including Olga Pidvysotska, Maria Bachynska, Gandzia Dmyterko, Vasylyna Oshchypko, Olena (Yarema) Kuz, Pavlyna Mykhailyshyn, Stefania Siyak, Stefania Novakivska and Olena Stepaniv.

In addition, during the First World War, women had the legal right to fight in the Russian Empire and in Great Britain (the laws of Austria-Hungary did not allow it).

After this battle, Olena Stepaniv and Sofia Galechko were awarded silver medals of bravery.
