Introduction
As the broken 61st Reserve Infantry Division streamed off the battlefield, Austrian cavalry found their march columns and added to the misery. The Austrian cavalry had a mixed record in this campaign, and lacked the inherent firepower to truly operate independently on the battlefields of 1914. But the traditional mission of harrying defeated enemies remained well within their capabilities.

Conclusion
The Austrian cavalry had ridden around the Russian flank, and now dealt out even more punishment to the hapless Russian reservist division. The Austrians cut down still more infantrymen and destroyed their supply columns, but lacked the strength to completely wipe out the Russian division. This would be one of the handful of instances on the Eastern Front where the cavalry managed to carry out a destructive pursuit as described in their branch’s dearly-held mythology.
