1st Uhlans Regiment of Polish Legions

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

1st Uhlans Regiment of Polish Legions was a detachment of the Polish Legions during World War I. Uhlans of this unit were called "Beliniaki", which was taken from the surname of their original leader, Władysław Zygmunt Belina-Prażmowski.

The regiment was created from the 140-passenger squadrons created by Belina-Prażmowski on August 13, 1914. The regiment was based on the first 7-horse patrol, the vanguard of the march of the First Cadre Company on August 6, 1914. This 7-person horse patrol, under Prażmowski's command was composed of: Janusz Głuchowski "Janusz", Antoni Jabłoński "Zdzisław", Zygmunt Karol Karwacki "Stanisław Bończa", Stefan Kulesza "Hanka", Stanisław Skotnicki "Grzmot", Ludwik Skrzyński "Kmicic".

In February and March 1917, cavalry courses (officers and non-commissioned officers) and multi-sealed courses appeared in the regiment.

On August 10, 1917, the commander of the Polish Legions passed the command of the regiment to captain Albert Kordecki of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment Albertowi Kordeckiemu z 2 Pułku Ułanów.[1]
