This article presents an account of an anonymous officer of the Ukrainian Galician Army (UGA) from the POW camp in Pikulice at the end of 1919 and the beginning of 1920. The author focuses on discussing the living conditions in the camp, particularly from the point of view of hygiene. The camp was swept by typhus and dysentery epidemics, which killed several hundred soldiers and officers of the UGA. The account was written in Ukrainian, probably for the Ukrainian Civic Committee in Lviv and also in order to preserve the memory of the hardships of life in captivity.

The article presents four documents connected with the POW camp no. 4 in Pikulice between July 1919 and February 1920. Two of them are reports of the stay there (one is anonymous, one by Lieutenant Jarosław Diakon), written soon after the described events; the others are: a petition to the Command of the General District of Lviv and an application of four prisoners to the Ukrainian Civic Committee. The documents faithfully render the conditions in the camp and additionally inform what the epidemics of typhus and dysentery looked like, the diseases that took the life of many UGA prisoners. The texts provide a considerable research value, although they are not devoid of bias.
