19th Volhynian Uhlan Regiment

The origins of the regiment date back to April 1917, when Polish Assault Hussar Squadron was formed in Ukraine, by Colonel Feliks Jaworski.

After the October Revolution, it was transferred to Ploskirow, where it fought against Bolshevik units and demoralized soldiers of the Russian Army.

On February 22, 1918, the regiment was annexed into III Polish Corps in Russia, as part of Light Brigade of Colonel Juliusz Rómmel.

By mid-September 1939, it ceased to exist, and its elements, after crossing the Wieprz river, joined Kresowa Cavalry Brigade, to surrender to the Red Army in late September.

Regimental flag, funded by the residents of Volhynia, was handed to the unit by Marshal Józef Piłsudski, on August 6, 1924, in Ostrog.
