Polish Army Cavalry Command

There are few more heroic and stirring sights than Polish cavalry dashing themselves in¶ÿ a desperate charge against German armoured might; lance against Krupp steel... Only, it largely of course didn't happen. Gallant though they were, the Polish Cavalryman was no fool. After reforms in 1936 the Polish cavalry was reorganised into twenty six regiments, of¶ÿfour squadrons each with one hundred and twenty men in each squadron. They were supported by HMG and anti-tank squadrons, backed too with tankettes and¶ÿ infantry on bicycles.¶ÿ Sadly for the romantics amongst us, the lance had been retired and was used largely for ceremonial purposes.
