[1] The 13th Infantry Regiment left the Pultusk area on August 24 leaving behind a marching battalion under Captain Wachtang Abszydze.

[1] Together with the 1st Legion Infantry Regiment, who had arrived by train, the unit took up positions on the east bank of the Narew River south and north of Pułtusk.

[1] A northern attack by the Germans lead to them taking control of a brick yard located between two Polish sections.

[1] Polish Brigader general Wincenty Kowalski, commander of operational group "Wyszków" and the 1st Infantry Division, soon arrived in Pultusk.

When told that Rozan had fallen to the Germans, Kowalski realized that continued defence of Pułtusk was untenable and ordered a retreat.
