1st Uhlans Regiment of Polish Legions information


Reconstruction of the Uhlan Regiment of Polish Legions during celebration of Independence Day in Warsaw

The 1st Uhlans Regiment of Polish Legions was a cavalry unit of the Polish Legions during World War I. Members of the unit were named "Beliniaki", after their original leader Władysław Zygmunt Belina-Prażmowski.

The regiment was created on August 13, 1914, from a squadron composed of 140 soldiers formed by Belina-Prażmowski. The unit was based on The Seven Lancers of Belina, the vanguard of the march of the First Cadre Company on August 6, 1914. The cavalry unit was composed of Janusz Głuchowski "Janusz", Antoni Jabłoński "Zdzisław", Zygmunt Karol Karwacki "Stanisław Bończa", Stefan Kulesza "Hanka", Stanisław Skotnicki "Grzmot", and Ludwik Kmicic-Skrzyński [pl] "Kmicic" under Prażmowski's command.

In February and March 1917, the regiment organized and implemented officer training (for officers and non-commissioned officers) and administrative courses.

On August 10, 1917, the leader of the Polish Legions handed over the command of the regiment to captain Albert Kordecki of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment.[1]
