Adam Remigiusz Grocholski

Adam Remigiusz Grocholski war names "Brochwicz", "Doktor", "Inżynier", "Miś", "Waligóra", and pseudonym Żukowski (3 September 1888 – 17 March 1965) was a Lieutenant Colonel (Podpułkownik) of the Polish Army.

In July 1915, Adam Remigiusz, as a plenipotentiary of the Red Cross, was co-opted as an Officer of Special Missions under the auspices of the Governor of the Caucasus.

In March 1917, he organised and directed the Association of the Polish Military in Russia (Związek Wojskowych Polaków w Rosji) in Batumi – Tbilisi.

Adam Remigiusz Grocholski was momentarily arrested in Warsaw, in January 1919, for his fortuitous participation in the attempted coup perpetrated by General Marian Januszajtis-Żegota.

In March that same year, he served in the Regular Polish Army as Commander of a Heavy Machine-Gun Squadron within the 12th Cavalry Regiment (12 Pułk Ułanów).

Later, in October, he completed a course at the Higher Military Academy (Wyższa Szkoła Wojenna) working there briefly as a translator and, in December, was appointed aide-de-camp in the 15th Infantry Brigade.

Adam Remigiusz then went on to follow courses at the Central Riding School (Centralna Szkoła Jazdy) in Grudziądz as well as at the Higher Military Academy in Warsaw.

In the spring of 1940, Adam Remigiusz Grocholski became a member of the Editorial Committee of the "Soldier's Bulletin" (Biuletyn Żołnierski), an underground magazine first published in August 1940 by the Secret Polish Army (Tajna Armia Polska), renamed the "Armed Confederation" (Konfederacja Zbrojna) and which later joined forces with the Home Army (Armia Krajowa).

In the spring of 1941, in the face of a probable conflict between the Third Reich and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Adam Remigiusz submitted to ZWZ Headquarters the project of creating a subversive organisation that would execute covert operations at the rearguard of the German-Soviet front.

Severely wounded on 25 September, he was evacuated two days later from the urban battlefield by couriers, mingling amidst the civilian population who were fleeing from the Mokotów District.
