Hi, dobroni. I like a lot the photos, you really do a great work reenacting the polish army, seeing the pictures I look a woman with the polish uniform, can you tell us a little more about the role of woman in the war?.

This is a long tradition in woman auxilary service.

Przysposobienie Wojskowe Kobiet (PWK) is a Woman Auxilary Service in 1939, but not in the army structure. Like scouts, but more military and medical training.

In 1918-1922 was a Ochotnicza Legia Kobiet (Woman Volunteer Legion)
