In 1905, he became a member of Combat Organization of the Polish Socialist Party, and was wounded in one hand during a raid near Częstochowa.

To avoid arrest by Russian authorities, Głuchowski left for Belgium, where he studied at the University of Liège.

In August 1914, he commanded a platoon in Oleandry, and was deputy of Władysław Belina-Prażmowski during the legendary raid of the so-called Seven Lancers of Belina.

In the early days of the Invasion of Poland, Głuchowski ordered General Walerian Czuma to prepare the defence of Warsaw.

After the escape, Głuchowski managed to travel to the Middle East, and in January 1941 he was ordered to come to London.

In 1945, Głuchowski decided not to return to Soviet-occupied Poland, and remained in Great Britain.
