Item Details
Description
Beautiful handcrafted patriotic engraved ring of the Polish Legions (Polish Army) from the very beginning of its existence under the partitions of the Polish Army in 1914, with the national emblem (eagle) in gilted metal on the front. It has the date of August 16, 1914. It has engraved the text "Polskie Legiony - 16/VIII 1914". The Polish Legions (Polish: Legiony Polskie) was a name of the Polish military force (the first active Polish army in generations) established in August 1914 in Galicia soon after World War I erupted between the opposing alliances of the Triple Entente on one side (comprising the British Empire, the French Republic and the Russian Empire); and the Central Powers on the other side, comprising the German Empire and Austria-Hungary. The Legions became "a founding myth for the creation of modern Poland" in spite of their considerably short existence; they were replaced by the Polish Auxiliary Corps (Polish: Polski Korpus Posiłkowy) formation on 20 September 1916, merged with Polish II Corps in Russia on 19 February 1918 for the Battle of Rarańcza against Austria-Hungary, and disbanded following the military defeat at the Battle of Kaniów in May 1918, against imperial Germany. General Haller escaped to France to form the Polish army in the West against the anti-Polish German-Bolshevik treaty. **** Important**** Shipping from our office in Europe.
