In 1895, he was in Kaunas, Lithuania (birth town of his child). But between 1880-1895 and 1895-1918 I have nothing about his family. His son Mikhail and Maria moved to Radzymin during 1920 but I think he was already no longer in this world. However his son was a soldier during the first world war under the commandment of colonel Nikolaï Lokhvitsky, he left Moscow in 1916. Moscow might be a good guess.[/q]
No, Lochwicki entered the WWI in April 1915 when he became a brigade commander at the 25th infantry division, which in August-September of 1915 took part in the Vilno operation. But as soon as May 1915, he entered the 24th infantry division as a brigade commander. The division in 1915 took part in the operations in Poland and Western Belarus. Since May 1916 he took part in the operations in France (if you remember, Mikhail Grigoryevich Nechaev mentioned France). Since 1917 he was the commander of the 1st Special infantry division of the Russian troops in France. It also says that Lochwicki was the commander of the Russian base at Laval until July 1918. Only in 1919 Lochwicki returned to Russia (during the Civil war), he traveled via the North to Siberia to join Kolchak. So, possibly Mikhail Grigorievich could return to Poland (which was formerly part of the Russian Empire, actually) in July-August 1918. So, his father could die in either Vilno, or Kaunas, or Radzimin in Poland. I don't think they ever lived in Moscow since he had settled in Lithuania.
