SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis! Lidiia and Norbert were married in Binfield, Berkshire (PA Real Life/Monika Sani Photography) *** Honeymoon tragedy kills bride's brother and lands
her in hospital after WWI bomb explodes beneath
their campfire
By Jack Clover, PA Real Life
One minute two newlyweds were warming their hands over a campfire in an idyllic forest
clearing as they celebrated their honeymoon.
The next they were at the centre of a bloodbath, as a buried WWI bomb roared back to
life beneath the flames and exploded - landing the bride in hospital after shrapnel ripped
at her body and killing her younger brother.
Just moments before the tragedy, Norbert Varga, 43, a keen photographer, had nipped
back to the tent he was sharing with his new wife Lidiia Makarchuk, 31, t o grab a camera,
so he could capture an image of the Milky Way - clearly visible in the night sky.
Radio technician Norbert, of Bracknell, Berkshire, said: "I went to my tent around 9pm.
"While I was packing my equipment the sound of an explosion and scr eams broke the
silence.
I ran to the bonfire as fast as I could, screaming Lidiia's name."
The couple, who married in church in Binfield, Berkshire, in the summer, before spending
their wedding weekend in Bath, Somerset, delayed their honeymoon until Se ptember so
they could visit accountant Lidiia's native Ukraine and celebrate with her family and
friends.
The highlight was a trek along a well-signposted tourist route as part of a group of 12,
including her brother Myroslav Makarchuk, 29, through the pi cturesque Carpathian
Mountains in western Ukraine, near the border with Hungary, before a night camping
beneath the stars.
Building a fire on a spot which had been used before, so as not to damage the beautiful
environment, the group sat around it telling stories as the light faded.
But at 9pm on Wednesday 15 September, as Norbert was fetching his camera, a whistling
sound came from the fire, followed by an earth-shattering blast - hurling the campers
apart as the hidden bomb - left behind by Austro-Hungarian troops over 100 years ago exploded.
Lidiia, who moved to the UK in January 2017, lay for hours in the darkness with shrapnel
wounds all over her face and limbs, waiting for medical help to arrive, as she listened to
the dying gasps of her brother lying beside her - his brain visible through his skull, which
had been torn open by shrapnel.
Speaking from the Ukrainian hospital where she is being treated, she said: For one hour
my brother was making this unearthly gurgling sound.
"My one regret is not calling out to him to tell him I loved him."
After losing her father a week before their wedding on July 27, and following a year of
Covid lockdowns, Lidiia had been delighted to see her Ukrainian family when she and
Norbert arrived in the country on 4 September.
She especially could not wait for Norbert, who hails from Hungary but has lived in the UK
since 2018, to bond with her brother during their camping trip.
I hadnt been back to Ukraine for years, so I had lots of appointments and people to se e.
After all that I just wanted to go to the mountains for a night to rest," she said.
A childhood friend had put a group of six men, four women and two children together for
the adventure - entailing a two-hour hike to the popular beauty spot, where they set up
camp overlooking Mount Hoverla, the country's tallest mountain.
Overjoyed to be joining them, her brother Myroslav was full of stories - with no idea that in
a few hours he and another man in the group would be killed by the bomb blast, which
also left several others injured.
"He was so happy to see us and I him. I will miss him so much," said Lidiia.
Arriving at the viewpoint in the late afternoon, the outlook was spectacular.
It was amazing. It was sunny. It was warm and you could see all the mountains. We
were up there at 5pm and sunset was at 8pm. It was breathtaking," she recalled.
Using a spot that had clearly been used by other tourists, so as not to damage the
landscape, they built a fire, which became the focal point as they sipped te a.
Telling her friends how Norbert won her heart after complimenting her shoes in church
back in 2019, Lidiia could not have felt happier.
We were just sitting by the fire, drinking tea, chatting, taking photos," she said. "The fire
made a special atmosphere, and we had a lot to say. It had been such a long time since
wed all seen each other."
But, at 9pm, with the two children aged two and five sleeping in a tent out of harm's way,
as Norbert fetched his camera and two other men collected more firewoo d, their lives
changed in a moment.
As Lidiia sat by the fire with three female friends and Myroslav and another male friend to
her right, the bomb exploded, killing both men.
In one second, I felt like someone had taken a rock and thrown it in my face, in my nose
especially, then I had a whistling in my ears followed by a silence where I could hear only
myself," she said.
"I turned away and covered my
