Great but forgotten - Lisowczycy - the light cavalry :

Lisowczycy (also known as Straceńcy ('lost men' or 'forlorn hope') or chorągiew elearska (company of elears) - the name of an early 17th century irregular unit of light cavalry, mostly form Grand Duchy of Lithuania, as their leader Aleksander Józef Lisowski was. The Lisowczycy took part in many battles across Europe and the historical accounts of the period characterized them as extremely agile, warlike, and bloodthirsty

The Lisowczycy took part in many conflicts, including the Dymitriads (where their actions help explain the text of the infamous placard in Zagorsk: three plagues: typhus, Tatars, and Poles)

History / September 1st 1939, A day to remember [10]

Everyone on September 1st take one minute out of your time for silence and remember thoses who lost their liv es during WW2 and those who fought for Poland.

always do. thank you LAG

Well, they fought for the defeat of Nazi Germany, more than for Poland tho.

inscription at the foot of the polish cemetery at Monte cassino :

"Passerby, tell Poland that we fell faithfully in her service. For our freedom and yours, we Polish soldiers gave our souls to God, our bodies to the soil of Italy, and our hearts to Poland."

"Przechodniu powiedz Polsce, żeśmy polegli wierni w jej służbie. Za naszą i waszą wolność my żołnierze polscy oddaliśmy Bogu ducha, ciało ziemi włoskiej, a serca Polsce".
