A correction regarding the Battle of Kruty

More

Dear Editor:

The commentary about the Heavenly Hundred (page 7) in the February 21 issue [“The heavenly hundred – the spirit that continues to motivate and drive”] contains the statement “The Youth Battle in Kruty in 1929 saw 300 students die …”

This battle is known as the Battle of Kruty and took place on January 29, 1918.
