On October 26, S.P. Shlikevich and F.I. Gayarin traveled to Podvolochisk, where, after a dispute with the head of the evacuation point, they found out the desirability of immediately sending clothes for the wounded, and, upon receiving a written order from the head of the evacuation commission, telegraphed the Main Committee.
Then it was decided to organize a large warehouse in Brody, the State Duma was late reloaded for transport along the narrow railway, and on the 26th. In October, a telegram was sent to the Main Committee with a proposal to send the things necessary for the warehouse and to send service personnel to Galishia for the warehouses being established.
On October 27, the commissioners arrived in Lviv. The next day, on the way to Lvov, it was proposed to organize a warehouse there as well. On November 8, the first warrant was issued to receive items from the warehouse in Brody, and in the second half of November the warehouses began to be empty.
It soon became clear that there was a need to build small warehouses closer to the forward positions. On December 1, a warehouse was opened in Rav-Ruska, after which a number of other warehouses were opened: in Rzeszow, Tur, Yaroslav, Novy Zagorzf, Dębic, Tarnov, etc. These warehouses received things from warehouses in Brody and Lviv and, characterized by their small capacity, could be transferred without much difficulty to places where the need for such institutions was especially felt. Things for warehouses were received from Moscow, and food products were procured mainly in Kev.
Simultaneously with the decision to open a warehouse in Brody, it became clear that it was desirable to set up a laundry room and a disinfectant there for washing and disinfecting dirty linen, which was received from the wounded and sick transported through Brody, in exchange for the clean linen given to them.
The laundry was ordered and started working in mid-December. In Lviv there was a strong mechanical laundry, which could be used to service warehouses.
Measures were taken to disinfect linens and mattresses in sanitary facilities. Work began on the construction of a bathhouse in Brody, which was equipped with two Gelyus disinfection machines. This bathhouse was completely finished at the beginning of February 1915. Another bathhouse was opened somewhat closer to the advanced positions in January 1915.
To transport the sick and wounded, at the beginning of November it was sent to Galizio and adapted for movement on narrow tracks along Road No. 172.
At the beginning of November, the Commissioner of the Red Cross, Count I. L. Tolstoy, addressed a letter to Prince. G.E. Lvov, in which, among other things, he wrote: “There is enormous traffic along the lines of the Galishchi railways. Troops go there - the sick and wounded come back. And nowhere, not a single camp, is there water, neither boiled nor hot. And this was during cholera....Mn came the idea that the zemstvo organization could take over this work. This is a dBlo of enormous importance. For now, I’m talking about the railway lines Lviv-Brody, Lviv-Rava-Russkaya-Yaroslav, “Lviv-Mosciska, Lviv-Sambir, Lviv Stryi. Boilers are needed not at all stations, but at least at the main ones...”,
November 11th book. G. E. Lvov telegraphically invited F. I. Gayarin to take the initiative to install boilers at important camps. It was not without difficulty that the boilers were ordered from Lvov, and the workshops were completely unwilling to consider the deadline for completing the order. On December 13, the first boiler was opened in Rav-Russkaya, then at the station. zhel. dor.: Yaroslav®, Sambir, Rzheshov, Stryz, etc. The management of the Galishchi roads began work on installing boilers much later: only on January 16, 1915, the head of the Galish roads telegraphically ordered, in addition to his order of January 4, to install boilers at all the stations of the Galish railways. 'dear. `
It soon became clear that it was impossible to limit ourselves to the construction of boilers; it was necessary to open a number of nutritional points. The first feeding stations were arranged around boilers, and organizing them was a natural extension of the personnel working to service the boilers.
Thus, in Tur the boiler turned into a small feeding station on January 10, and then followed by the same expansion of the activity of some other boilers and the establishment of independent feeding stations.
Already in the first period of the Union's activity in Galishchi, the need for extensive sanitary and medical measures became clear.
