Ukraine's Participation in WWI

[Vlodko_D]

Hello,
As I'm reading Bohdan Melnyk's book 'Against the Stream', I came across several sections on Western Ukraine's participation in WWI. While fighting for Austrian's King Franz II, many Ukrianian peasants did go to war.

Can anyone elaborate on this topic? Are there any interesting links, books etc on this topic.

Much appreciated......Vlodko D

Volodya, what do you mean by your statement? Are you refering to the Los Angeles Times newspaper and if so, is there a link you can provide? If not, then what are you refering to?
