All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day inspire reflection on the soldiers who are no longer in Our ranks. They are also an opportunity to express respect for all those who, while fulfilling their military duties, gave their lives in the name of the highest values, freedom and independence.
As part of the “Soldierly Remembrance” campaign, on the eve of the holiday, delegations of artillerymen lit candles at monuments commemorating heroes who fell for the Homeland, at the graves of deceased soldiers of the 23rd Artillery Regiment scattered throughout the Bolesławiec garrison, as well as beneath commemorative plaques dedicated to the fallen and deceased soldiers of the 23rd Silesian Artillery Brigade and its historical predecessors: the 5th Artillery Brigade, the 11th Anti-Aircraft Regiment, the 18th Artillery Brigade, the 18th Rocket Regiment and the 62nd Company.
Capt. Remigiusz Kwieciński:
“Those who live in the memory of others have not died, but have merely gone away.” On this day, we especially remember our deceased comrades who have gone on “eternal guard.”
Honor their memory!
