The section with a single boy incident is backed up by personal reminiscences of a single Polish officer who Mitliukhov identifies as: представителя польской администрации на оккупированных территориях - Гражданского управления Восточных земель (ГУВЗ) М. Коссаковского - or representative of Polish administration in occupied territories ... .  Sounds impressive, does is not?  Here was someone with influence and access who would clearly know what is going on.  Except that he is talking about pl:Tadeusz Kossakowski, who in 1919 was 32 years old and had a rank below Lieutenant Colonel (Подполковник), commannding a rather small Company of Engineers in the 2nd Polish Division at the time. 

 :::::The more I examine the accuracy and throughness of Mitliukhov work here, the more I cringe.
