Monument to fallen for Těšín Silesia ((チェコ語:Pomník padlým za Těšínsko)) is a monument in Orlová commemorating Czech victims of the Polish–Czechoslovak War and the following plebiscite period during the Polish–Czechoslovak dispute over Cieszyn Silesia (1919-1920). The monument was built in 1928, damaged during the Polish annexation of the territory in 1938-1939 and after the end of the World War II partially reconstructed. == Beginnings == Immediately after the Polish–Czechoslovak War started members of the Sokol in Orlová begun to organize material and financial gatherings to support wounded Czech soldiers and surviving relatives of the Czech soldiers fallen in the war.〔Matroszová (2005), page 27.〕 As gathered finances have accumulated a loose association named "Fund for the survivors and for construction of a monument commemorating fallen for Těšín Silesia with a seat in Orlová" ((チェコ語:Fond pro pozůstalé a pro zbudování pomníku padlým za Těšínsko se sídlem v Orlové)) was created.〔Matroszová (2005), page 28.〕 The goal of the Fund was the organisation of welfares the proceeds of which would be used to support families of the fallen soldiers and to maintain graves of the soldiers on the Orlová cemetery.〔 In time the main goal of the Fund became construction of a representative monument commemorating the fallen soldiers.〔 Already in 1919 a provisional wooden monument was erected on the Orlová cemetery.〔 At the beginning of 1922 the Fund together with the "Sokol district of Těšín Silesia of Jan Čapek" ((チェコ語:Sokolská župa Těšínská Jana Čapka)) initiated exhumation and transfer to Orlová of the remains of 22 legionnaries and soldiers buried in what was now the Polish part of Cieszyn Silesia (in Cieszyn and Pruchna). In July the remains of Jan Čapek were ceremonially buried on the Orlová cemetery. Next to Jan Čapek there were buried in total further 55 soldiers fallen in the Polish–Czechoslovak War or the following plebiscite period.〔 Each year on 1 November a commemorative celebration took place next to the graves.〔 In 1924 the Fund transformed into an association and its name changed to "Association to honour the fallen for Těšín Silesia" ((チェコ語:Spolek pro poctu padlých za Těšínsko)). Its goals remained unchanged.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Monument to the fallen for Těšín Silesia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
