Teresa Grodzińska

Teresa Jadwiga Grodzińska (20 December, 1899 – 1 September, 1920) was a Polish wartime nurse killed during the Polish–Soviet War.

[1][2] In the spring of 1920, at the height of the Polish–Soviet War, she interrupted her studies to learn first aid and work at the Ujazdów military hospital.

In July she volunteered to join the army and was assigned to the 2nd battalion of 4th Legions' Infantry Regiment which, at the time, was stationed near Hrubieszów.

She showed great bravery while providing triage to the soldiers and helping evacuate the wounded from the battlefields.

[1][3] After the war, Grodzińska was praised in the Polish press and was commemorated with plaques at the Ujazdów hospital, the retaining wall below the Wawel Castle, and at her old school.
