For 17 years it was unofficial, until November 21, 1937, when Ministry of Military Affairs officially accepted the full name: 7th Regiment of Lublin Uhlans of General Kazimierz Sosnkowski.

On November 23, 1918, the regiment concentrated in Kraśnik, to be sent by rail to the Ukrainian front in eastern part of former Austrian Galicia.

In July 1919 it captured the rail junction of Molodeczno, to advance eastwards, and finally reach the line of the Berezina river.

In the winter of 1922 – 23, elements of the regiment were sent to Eastern Galicia, to prevent the acts of sabotage, carried out there by Ukrainian nationalists.

After crossing the Bug river, it fought in the area of Lublin, suffering heavy losses in the battle of Suchowola (September 23–24).

In the final days of September 1939, elements of the regiment kept fighting both the Wehrmacht and the Red Army, trying to reach either the border with Hungary, or the garrison of besieged Warsaw.

The flag of the regiment, funded by the residents of the Land of Lublin, was handed to it by General Sosnkowski in Kraśnik, on March 22, 1921.

On the next day, in appreciation of the bravery of the soldiers, the flag was decorated by Józef Piłsudski with Silver Cross of the Virtuti Militari.
