History

On the front of the 8th Division, the day of August 10 went roughly as follows. The right column of the 1st Division Brigade, moving along the road to the Sea of an eagle, stumbled unexpectedly to the opponent. The vanguard, for an unclear reason, was too close to the main force column, steps at 400; No proper safeguards have been taken, and when the vanguard, two battalions of the 29th Infantry Chernigov Regiment, came into the village of the eagle, and the main forces approached it head-on. Directly from the houses entrenched in them, the Germans opened up a machine-gun and rifle fire at point-blank. There was a confusion and then a fierce hand-to-hand battle that lasted for about an hour. During this battle, the commander of the Chernigov Regiment, Colonel Alexeev, grabbed the banner and jumped forward. Colonel Alexeev was killed and the banner at the time fell into the hands of Germans; Around the banner, everything was fighting. After all, the banner was repelleded with the assistance of the Poltava Regiment, but the parts of the brigade were brought to a complete configuration.
