After the battle of Galicia, Austria was driven from Poland at Rawa Russka and Gorodok, leaving only General Hermann Kusmanek at the fortress at Przemysl, west of Lemberg (Lviv). The sige of Przemyśl by the Russians began on September 24, 1914. Aided by a German advance on Warsaw, Austrian General Svetozar Boroevic counter-attacked against General Radko Dmitriev and relieved Przemysl. However, he was checked at the San and the siege resumed.
