Abstract:
The article explores the organizational transformations of the Crown army during the war with Sweden in the years 1626–1629. On the basis of fiscal sources, correspondence, and war accounts, the author established that the number of Sigismund III’s troops increased. In 1629 they were more numerous in Prussia than the combined armies in Prussia and in Ukraine three years earlier. Positional warfare with the Swedes, who had a considerable number of well-trained infantry and perfect artillery, required a change in the structure of the army, over half of which during hostilities consisted of dragoons and infantry formations, especially those of the foreign contingent. Over the course of the war, free companies (freikompanie), which made up a core of the infantry at the beginning of the war, were mostly replaced by large regiments of over three thousand pay rates. Also, successful attempts were made to create infantry units trained and armed in the German manner, commanded by foreigners, but recruited among Sigismund III’s subjects, and the ranks of Polish-Hungarian infantry were reinforced. In the ranks of cavalry, reiters were of more importance than in Ukraine. They grew into a third force in the Polish cavalry, after Polish hussars and Cossacks. Considerably smaller changes occurred for artillery, which despite significant expenses was still inferior to that of the Swedish artillery. Sigismund III’s troops also struggled with the deficiency of experienced engineers and cartographers. Although after the Altmark armistice the king had to reduce the army, from which the infantry disappeared almost entirely, dragoons were preserved in Ukraine thanks to Crown Field Hetman Koniecpolski. From that time on, they would constitute an indispensable part of the wojsko kwarciane (quarter army). The significance of the Prussian war for the development of the Crown military is best illustrated by the fact that in 1633, in the course of preparations for the war with Muscovy for Smolensk, Władysław IV and his advisers organized the army largely in the manner of the years 1626–1629.

Abstract:
This article is a translation from Polish of the scientific work of the Polish historian of the Crimean Tatar origin Selim Chazbijewicz “Khan Jelaleddin and the Tatars at the Battle of Grunwald”. It examines the role of the Tatar cavalry and the significance of the Battle of Grunwald for Poland and Lithuania. The Tatars played a special role in the military history of Poland and Lithuania in the XII–XIV centuries. Their ubiquitous presence in wars and battles in Eastern Europe was well known to their contemporaries, who perfectly understood that without their military assistance, no belligerent side could claim victory over its opponents. Their decisive role in battles can be explained mainly by their use of nomadic light cavalry, which was practically invincible in those centuries. The Battle of Grunwald took place on July 15, 1410 during the Polish-Lithuanian-Teutonic War. The union of the crown of the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, headed by King Vladislav II Jagaila and Grand Duke Vytautas, finally defeated the German-Prussian knights of the Teutonic Order, headed by Grand Master Ulrich von Jungingen. Most of the leaders of the Teutonic Knights were killed or taken prisoner. The Teutonic Order will never regain its former power again, the financial burden of war reparations caused internal conflicts and economic recession in the territories under their control. The battle altered the balance of power in Central and Eastern Europe and heralded the rise of the Polish-Lithuanian alliance as the dominant political and military power in the region.

Abstract:
This article is dedicated to investigating the problems regarding the existence of Lithuanian cavalry in the 13th century as well as the identification of its type and its ability to counter the heavy cavalry of the West. Firstly, we analyze the validity of different opinions about the date when Lithuanians began to fight on horseback that are revealed in our historiography – that this had happened on the junction of the 13th and 14th centuries, on the second half of the 13th century, or long before the beginning of the Baltic crusade. We come to a conclusion that there is enough evidence to support the third opinion, oriented at pre-crusader times. Furthermore, we agree with the idea, soundly based in the description of the source, that these forces were light cavalry. In the second part of our article, we address attention to the peculiarity of the tactics employed by the previously mention cavalry forces: even being able to fight on horseback, these units would get out of their saddles and because of that were often mistaken for infantry. Even more, they would intentionally seek out areas unfavorable for cavalry forces (forests, for example), fighting on foot in these environments, because in those places the enemy was not capable of using anything to their advantage: big war horses, better armor, a close battle order, or lances. The article suggests that this battle method lets us determine, with more precision, the type of Lithuanian light cavalry, equating it to the better-known Irish hobelars who had served in England’s army. In the Teutonic Order’s state in Prussia, the equivalent of hobelars were the native “free” Prussians. Both these types of units rode small horses, fought equally well on horseback as well as on foot, and used javelins. In the last part, we argue on the possibilities of such light cavalry overcoming its heavier counterparts. According to the author of this paper, such possibilities would arise only occasionally – when knights were trapped in swamps in the forests or did some sort of tactical mistake. Eliminating this backwardness, the Lithua­nian state had begun using heavy cavalry forces by the early 15th century.

Abstract:
This article restores the battle route of the Tuvan volunteer Sengii Oyun who was listed as missing in action for 78 years, based on archival materials. In 1943, the Tuvan People’s Republic sent its volunteers to the Soviet-German front. Among those volunteers, who had to pass a rigorous selection to earn the right to fight on the side of the Soviet Union against Nazi Germany, was Sengii Chymchak oglu Oyun. In November 1943, after combat training in replacement troops, the volunteers joined the 4th squadron of the 31st Guards Cavalry Regiment of the 8th Guards Cavalry Division. S.C. Oyun participated in the battles of Derazhno, Rovno, Dubno in Ukraine, especially distinguishing himself in the battle near Dubno. In June 1944, Tuvan volunteers returned to their homeland, but Sengii Oyun was not among them. He had been listed as missing in action until 2022, and it is not until after the request of his relatives, owing to painstaking work of the employees of the Central Archive of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, that his battle route was restored. Sengii Oyun and some of his fellow soldiers had got behind their troops’ train, following which he was appointed a machine gunner of the 95th Guards Rifle Regiment of the 31st Guards Rifle Division. In the summer of 1944, he took part in the battles for the liberation of Belorussia and Lithuania. Sengii Chymchak oglu Oyun died on October 21, 1944 in a battle in Eastern Prussia.

Abstract:
В статье рассматриваются предметы вооружения, найденные в ходе исследования некрополя Альт-Велау и позволяющие охарактеризовать материальную культуру, связанную с военной службой пруссов Тевтонскому ордену. Для этой цели изучены состав и морфологические особенности 140 предметов, найденных в 63 погребениях XIII-XV вв., а также в пахотном горизонте и относящихся преимущественно к наступательному вооружению (мечи, копья, дротики, топоры, булава, кинжалы). В их составе наблюдается постепенный отказ от богато украшенных «парадных» предметов вследствие уравнения статусов знати и рядовых общинников, а также обращение к компактным видам оружия (копьям и кинжалам), пригодным для использования в легкой коннице. При этом морфологические изменения копий (удлинение и сужение лезвия для борьбы с броней) свидетельствуют о принятии пруссами новых явлений в военном деле. The paper explores weapons items that were found by research of necropolis Alt-Wehlau and gives an insight into the material culture related to the military service of the Prussians for the Teutonic Order. For this goal the composition and morphological features of 140 items found in 63 graves dating to the 13th - 15th centuries as well as in ploughing horizon that are mainly referred to offensive weapons (swords, spears, javelins, axes, a mace, and daggers) were examined. The analysis of their composition demonstrates a gradual transition from richly decorated items to less ornate weapons because of fewer differences in the status of the noble and that of the commoners, as well as use of smaller size types of weapons (e. g. spears and daggers) suitable to be used by light cavalry. At the same time, morphological changes of spears (lengthening and narrowing of the blade to fight against the armour) indicate that the Prussians adopted new trends in the military matters

Abstract:
Brass instruments in Swedish cavalry music in the early nineteenth century – a period of transition This article makes use of archival material – early brass scores and financial accounts – in Swedish cavalry regimental archives, providing information about the use of natural horns and trumpets and keyed instruments (keyed bugles, ophicleïdes) and about the introduction of valve brass instruments – French horns, (Swedish) cornets, horns, trombones and bass tubas – in Sweden during the first half of the nineteenth century. Preserved Swedish cavalry scores from the early nineteenth century reflect Prussian traditions and show how recent compositions, especially pieces of opera music, were arranged by cavalry band masters and musicians, several of which were members of the Royal Orchestra and thus familiar with what was on the fore in the Swedish capital. Their instruments were of north German models, bought by band masters and musicians and copied, repaired and developed by Swedish brass workers and workshops. Keyed and natural instruments were used alongside the new valve instruments from around 1830 and well into the mid-nineteenth century.

Abstract:
Abstract Failure to break into the city combined with Eugene’s proximity convinced some of la Feuillade’s subordinates to advise abandoning the siege and turning their 60,000 men against the reliefforce. The French commander refused and continued his artillery bombardment. As he did so, Eugene’s forces arrived and occupied the Mount of Capuchins. From there, he looked down on the flank of The French entrenchments, with their guns pointing at the city. On the morning of 7 September, Eugene ordered his Prussian cavalry to strike the weakest point of the French lines, their right flank northwest of the city. Both Eugene and Victor Amadeus fought with their troops and were instrumental in rallying them against French counterattacks. Once inside the trench lines, the Savoyards turned French artillery on their former owners, forcing them to break. On the far lefi: flank, la Feuillade was able to withdraw his men in a more orderly fashion, until von Daun led a sally out of Turin that broke the French spirit and turned their retreat into a rout.

Abstract:
Abstract In 1854 a group of Polish immigrants established the community of Panna Marya (“Village of Our Lady”) in central Texas. One of the founders of this first permanent settlement of Poles in the United States was Peter Kiolbassa, an 18-year-old native of the small town of Swib, which, with the rest of Poland, was under foreign occupation (in the late 18th and early 19th centuries Poland had been carved up by Russia, Prussia, and Austria-Hungary). The young Polish-Texan Peter Kiolbassa worked as a cowboy, a waiter, and an elementary-school teacher before enlisting in the Texas cavalry during the Civil War. After being captured by Union troops and taken to Illinois, Kiolbassa switched sides and was quickly made a captain in the U.S. cavalry. In late 1863 he visited Chicago while on furlough and discovered a small Polish-American Catholic community struggling there to establish its first national parish in the rapidly growing city.
