About this person

Władysław Eugeniusz Sikorski was a Polish military and political leader. Before World War I, Sikorski established and participated in several underground organizations that promoted the cause of Polish independence. He fought with distinction in the Polish Legions during World War I, and later in the newly created Polish Army during the Polish-Soviet War of 1919-1921. In the latter war, he played a prominent role in the decisive 1920 Battle of Warsaw.
