Andrzej Małkowski

Andrzej Juliusz Małkowski (31 October 1888, Trębki - 15 January 1919, Strait of Messina) was a Polish Scoutmaster (harcmistrz) activist of youth and independence organisations.

Małkowski decided to join the Polish Legions, along with many of the boys in his Scout troop.

Before he left, he organised a cottage for his wife and the boys and girls who had no homes, and she opened a café to earn her living.

They took on a huge number of tasks including supplementing the postal service, organising a children's home, helping with the harvest, and setting up a hospital.

[citation needed] In 1915 they were forced to leave Zakopane by the Austrian government, and they moved through Switzerland to the United States.
