Dear Joanna,
your father 'Wacek' was a dear friend to me, we shared the same interests and passions and I will never forget his kindness and support in those early years when we were forming our Polish Guard Lancer's.
I often think of him and still hold his correspondence.
You are right that our regiment is based on the 1st.Polish Guard Lancer's [ szwolezierowie Gwardii Cesarza Napoleona] from Napoleonic times.
Our Regiment consists of two companies 1st in the U.K. and 5th in Warsaw,together we have some 25 members.
We take part in parades and historic re-enactments throughout Europe and this year the unit will be present at Waterloo, Wagram, Warsaw for the Soldiers Day parade in August and Detling Kent for the Military Odyssey 2009 on the August Bank holiday at the end of that month.
we are trying to form a company in the U.S.
Any correspondence should be sent to the unit website or to our Polish 5th company via their ARSENAL.PL website.
My best wishes go to you and your family.
George Lubomski
[General of the Polish Cavalry Brigade and officer in command of the Polish Guard Lancers]
correspondence can be sent to this website or to our Polish 5th company in Warsaw through the ARSENAL.PL website.
Dear Mr Lubomski,
My late father, Waclaw Fiedler, was in touch with you several years ago.
On a trip to Poland last week, I met an ex army gentleman who takes part in a re-enactment society in the USA based on the Ulani Krechowieccy. He was most interested when I told him that my father used to be in contact with a similar society in the UK.
Would you be happy to provide me with details of your society that I could pass onto him? Do I understand correctly that your regiment is based on Napoleonic ones and not WW2?
I look forward to hearing from you.

ARSENAŁ - the Association of Polish Regiments 1717-1831 is an association of persons interested in Polish ancient military, cultivating the traditions of old armoury and colours, particularly of selected units of the Republic in the years of 1717-1831, such as 10th Działynski Regiment, 1st Brigade of the National Cavalry, I Régiment de cheveau-légers (Polonais) de la Garde Impériale, 7th Lancers Regiment of the Vistula Legion and the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the Vistula Legion together with the other units of the period. The Association’s region of activity is the Polish Republic and centres of Poles abroad. The aims of the Associations are: maintaining a citizenship attitude among the Association members’ by cultivating the patriotic spirit around values such as: God, Honour, the Country, cultivation of the traditions of the formation of the Polish armies, promotion of national history and traditions, raising the level of historical awareness on general and particular level, advancement of the spirit of sport and entrenching the culture of a life in a team. The Association accomplishes its aims through lectures, training, camps and other gatherings in the field of general and particular historic education, the initiation of projects propagating cultural values, information (the publication of information materials and other periodicals concerning the Association’s activities), cooperation with appropriate central and local government bodies, other associations, youth organizations, and centres of culture and education in the area covered by the Association’s statute, as well as with other similar national and foreign affiliations. The Association was convened in 2001 from an informal group of friends and acquaintances working for the Polish Army Museum and the National Museum in Warsaw. The beginnings of the Association are marked by a significant turnover of manpower. Some left to found their own groups. It is in 2002 that the membership was set to the extent that we were able to work on the statute and the process of registration under the name of a Historic Military Uniform Association VISTULA LEGION and VISTULA LANCERS REGIMENT. As the group developed we arrived at a decision to apply for a special registration of an association under its present name of: ARSENAL – The Association of Polish Regiments 1717-1831. From the moment of an inscription in the National Judicial Register the association gained full legal status. The Association takes part in the reconstruction of battles and historical events of 18th and 19th century (The Kosciuszko Insurrection – Napoleonic Wars – The November Uprising). We fought (in differing personal setup) many battles in Poland and elsewhere, between others at: Ostroleka, Gdansk, Peschiera, Wola, Maciejowice, Pultusk, Ciechanow, Vilnus, Leipzig, Austerlitz as well as in Warsaw ( the Election of Polish Kings, the Warsaw Insurrection, the Reduta Wolska Battle, ‘The November Night’, the Battle for Olszynka Grochowska, and the staging of the 1920 war or the Warsaw Uprising (the battle of the Wola barricades). The presence of our uniforms adorned the occasion of the erection of the Juliusz Slowacki statue, the anniversary of the 3rd May Constitution, the outbreak of the November Uprising, and at the Museums’ Night at the Warsaw Arsenal, and the celebration at the Wilanów Park and Palace. The ARSENAL embraces a variety of communities and professions. There are students, employees of museums, of variety of business firms, professionals. Many of us are able to reproduce parts of the uniform and of the equipment; others undertake educational activities such as introduction to the military drill, horse riding and military behaviour in combat. We strive to provide members with uniforms appropriate to each of the formations mentioned before. We also take active part in organizing many events by writing their script scenario. ARSENAL is an Association adhering to its statute and guided by a set of internal rules based on military traditions and regulations. Safety procedures and the hierarchy of rank are being observed. Any appearance in uniform and under arms requires discipline – donning a Polish military uniform imposes an obligation, and in the throes of a battle accidents may happen. Anybody meeting the conditions of the statute may be a member of ARSENAL.
