Haller’s Polish Army in France By Paul S.

Starting with the origins of the Restoration of Poland movement and the major roles of the city of Pittsburgh and the Polish Falcons, through the view of Ignacy Paderewski as he officially sat at the Paris peace talks; this book explains the formation, development, and accomplishments of this fighting force of Polish volunteers from America. They enlisted to travel to France for battle against the Imperial German and Austro-Hungarian armies on the western front, and subsequently to fight against the wave of Communism and the Bolshevik menace in the Polish-Soviet War of 1919-1920. Many of these resources have not been published in over 75 years and many are here for the first time in English. Included in the book are: Regimental histories written less than 10 years after the war Memoirs of two of the army’s most active officers Reports by the Canadian Army at Niagara on the Lake as well as the reaction of local residents to the influx of so many foreign troops Accounts of the rapport which existed between the Polish Army in France and the YMCA Biography of General Jozef / Gen.
