among these were many young volunteers, who became known as the "lwów eaglets". initially this term was confined to those who had participated in the fights within the city between november 1 and november 22, 1918, and the following siege by the ukrainian army between november 23, 1918 and may 22, 1919. with time, however, the term's application was broadened, and it is now used for all the young soldiers who fought in the area of eastern galicia for the polish cause in the polish-ukrainian war and the polish-bolshevik war. in addition to the young polish nationals of lviv, those fighting in the polish-ukrainian battle for przemyśl are also frequently referred to as "przemyskie orlęta" ('"przemyśl eaglets").
