Its unsuccessful defence during the World War I is also briefly outlined. Resided in close vicinity to a large military camp the author recalls its existence, uniforms,, weaponry and enginery of the four different armies. The events of WorldWarII and severe post-war years were engraved in his memory. Many pages of the book are devoted to the description of the outstanding sportsmen, who came from this suburb, particularly, to the football club "Kovas", a favourite of the people during the interwar years. This club had been a titleholder of Lithuania several times in the past.
