Re: [Cz-L] Regiment 15

Great story--based on a classic Jewish joke/anecdote, present in several
variations.

Anyway, all this fascinating discussion of WWI reminds me of a question
I had--perhaps a bit tangential, but, I hope, not entirely not off-topic.

My father's family moved from Bukovina to Galicia shortly before WWI
(the other relatives remained behind). When the Russians invaded, they
were evacuated to Moravia (and later, Bohemia).

Do list members here have information on the comparable cases in the
Bukovina? Were evacuations from the two regions connected, i.e. did some
of the same transports take refugees from both areas? Any ideas?
