The greatest number of casualties were near Krakow, in the battles against the Russian army: in its advance from the east (4-10 December 1914), in its retreat from Limanowa (5-19 December 1914), and especially in the Austrian army's spring penetration of the front under the command of General August Mackensen.
This Austrian offensive began with a fierce attack on Gorlice and pushed the Russians fu eastward; it was only the Russians' summer offensive under General Aleksei Brusilov [June-September 1916) that pushed the Austrians back towards their original positions.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Greek Catholics in America
Their earliest immigration to the United States began in 1879, from the western portion of Galicia near the Carpathian Mountains, the so-called Lemkovschini, and then spread throughout the Galician and Hungarian sides of the mountains.
At first it was hardly noticed, but it grew year by year, the earliest immigrants coming from Grybow, Gorlice, Jaslo, Neu Sandec, Krosno, and Sanok in Galicia, and from Szepes, Saros, Abauj, and Ung in Hungary, until finally the governmental authorities began to notice it.
At the post offices in many of the mountain places in the Ruthenian portion of Galicia it was observed that the peasants were receiving large sums of money from their fathers, sons, or brothers in America.
