- Notes:
- Josef Pilsudski and the Polish Legion fought against the Russians to liberate Russian Poland from tsarist rule. The Polish Legion supported the Austro-Hungarians for the establishment of an independent Polish state. When the Germans and Austro-Hungarians announced the creation of the Council of Regency to rule Poland, Pilsudski rejected the policy and he, with many of his legionnaires, went to prison. This photograph shows the view from a barred cell window, which looks out on the side of the prison at Marmosa-Sziget, part of the town, and the mountains in the background.

- Polish Legionnaires line up for their dinner ration of soup in the prison compound at Huszt in 1918. Prisoners retrieved large pots of soup from the camp kitchen and ladled out the rations in the open compound. The POW's receive their meals under the watchful eye of a Hungarian guard. The Hungarians interned these Polish prisoners in 1916 when they refused to take the oath of allegiance to the new Polish Regency in Poland.
