Sheet «A riefleman of the Ukrainian Galician Army»

The Ukrainian Galician Army (UGA) is the armed forces of the Western Ukrainian People's Republic (WNR). Their creation began in November 1918 for the defense of the ZUNR during the war with the Poles. The basis of the UGA was the Ukrainian Sich Riflemen, as well as volunteers", "The most successful offensive operation of the UGA was the Chortkiv Offensive (June 7-28, 1919). In the course of the counteroffensive, the UGA pushed back the Polish troops from Chortkov to Zolochev and Brody. This military operation, carried out against the overwhelming forces of the enemy due to the shortage of ammunition and the absence of strategic reserves, wrote a bright page in the history of the Ukrainian revolution of 1917-1921.
