Cemeteries, tombstones, grave sites
The three sons of Jordán Görgey and Hedvig Pongrácz (Konstantin, Arisztid and Béla) volunteered to be soldiers in the autumn of 1914 when the World War broke out, and all three were decorated several times. Among them, Arisztid fell on September 20, 1916, after being shot in the stomach during a raid, having previously recovered from a shot in the neck. He was temporarily buried by his comrades, the 13th Hussars, in Volhynia near Svinjuchi, from where he was transferred to Görgő to be with his father. ; Béla Görgey and Konstantin Görgey fell on December 5, 1918, in Trencsénkutacs. The story of this is as follows: On November 16, 1918, a group of only 17 officers and 30 volunteers from Košice, commanded by István Moncskó, first lieutenant of the 5th Honvéd Hussars from Košice, set out to defend the country's western border. The Moncskó detachment belonged to Colonel Mágerl's group, which had only 300 armed men in total. ; On November 20, they advanced to Budatin with the support of an armored train. They had only three machine guns, but they operated so skillfully that the Czechs suspected a much larger enemy force. They cleared the terrain all the way to Csaca, then took up residence in the Csáky Castle in Budatin near Žilina. They wanted to prevent the enemy from infiltrating from the Moravian border. However, they did not receive any reinforcements. Only 15-16 year old students of the Košice cadet school appeared under the castle one day, but they were later ordered back. ; On December 3, the Károlyi government ordered them back to the Rózsaheg demarcation line, but they did not obey. On December 5, they decided to retake Trenčín, which had been in Czech hands for two weeks, and which was occupied by four battalions of infantry and six batteries of artillery. They encountered the enemy in front of Nagybicce and engaged in battle. They inflicted enormous losses on the Czechs, who were only able to capture the survivors after several hours of fighting. The commander, István Moncskó and the two Görgey brothers were killed at this time. ; The others were first to be executed, as they did not want to be recognized as a regular military force. But they were finally transported to Uherské Hradiště and then to the Spielberg dungeons in Brno. They were imprisoned there until the final demarcation line was established.
