During the Great War on the Rawka and Bzura Rivers – from December 1914 to July 1915 – only on the section of the front between Sochaczew and Skierniewice the fighting armies suffered huge losses. The inhabitants of the lands seized by warfare also suffered …

The Battle of the Bolimów Bridgehead, also referred to as the Battle of the Rawka and Bzura Rivers or the Battle of Bolimów, was fought from December 1914 to July 1915 by units of the 1st, 2nd and 5th Russian armies and the 9th German army. The section of the line of warfare between Sochaczew in the north and Skierniewice in the south, from Łowicz in the west to Wiskitki and Żyrardów in the east, 17 km long in the Rawka and Bzura river basin, is both a unique archive of land, a testimony to times gone by, and a complex challenge.

Very intensive processes and changes (both in the material-spatial and socio-cultural sense) took place in this section.

The Russian defense based its positions on the high eastern banks of the Bzura and Rawka rivers. However, on a several-kilometer section at the mouth of the Rawka to the Bzura, the low and marshy eastern bank was not suitable for defense and the Russian side moved the front line about 3 km from Rawka, basing it on the villages of Zakrzew, Sucha, Borzymów, Humin, Wola Szydłowiecka and Mogiły, which it fortified

The German troops deployed on the front on the Bzura and Rawka were given a large number of artillery shells filled with poisonous gas - xylyl bromide. On January 31, 1915, on the front near Bolimów, the German artillery fired at Russian positions with these shells. The attack proved unsuccessful.
