S LETTERS TO HIS FAMILY The author publishes two letters written in 1848 from among the documents preserved in the possession of a middle class family in Szeged. The letters were written by Gyula Baurnfeind, second child of a well-known pharmacist family, who was a law student in Pest when the revolution broke out in March 1848. In this way in his handwriting the heartening poem by Sándor Petőfi entitled 'National Song' together with the 12 points of revolutionary claims becoming symbols of the revolution in Pest could survive. He took these documents to Szeged and reproduced them in handwriting. At the beginning of the war of independence he became a soldier on his friend's, Adolf Mogyoródy's request. The third battalion recruited in Szeged was mobilized against the Serbian uprising in the South at the end of June. He was wounded at Szenttamás in the first battle (14. July) and died a week later. In this way became Gyula Baurnfeind the 'first soldier' of Szeged, i.e. its first war hero killed in a battle.
