| Haller's Army:
Polish Regimental Casualty List |
This list of casualties is extracted from Polish
Regimental Histories written within 10 years of the end of the
Polish-Soviet war of 1918-1920. These casualties are of men who were
killed or died from wounds in battle both on the Western and Eastern
Fronts. Some data includes casualties sustained in units fighting in
France up to the Armistice of November 11, 1918. Many others are
casualties which occurred after the French campaigns and include
fighting in Poland, Ukraine, and Volhynia (Wolynia), up to 1921.
These regiments were under the command of General Jozef Haller both in
France prior to the Armistice, and Poland, Ukraine, Lithuania, and
Belarus after peace was achieved on the Western Front. The 43rd, 44th,
and 45th Regiments were renamed from the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Regiments
respectively which were recruited in North America and formed at
Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. Other regiments were made up of Polish
recruits from Poland as well as recruited Polish prisoners-of-war in
Italy, France, Ukraine, and Belarus.
This list is exclusive to the Internet by PolishRoots and is not the
same as the other casualty database found at Polish Army in France
Casualty List. Both should be checked for
individual names. The information available is not identical in each
database. As time permits, additional regiments and names will be added.
