With Papa's return the whole house became animated. He himself was, however, exhausted and starved. Although everyone was anxious to hear what had happened to him, they now gave him a chance to rest in his own home.
The following night after supper everyone gathered in the salon to hear about Papa's experiences and impressions. At the moment I will not describe what he told us, but will begin with what I already knew about Papa. In November, 1918, when he was 20 years old and had two years of medical studies behind him, Papa volunteered for the Polish Army which was then being formed. Having completed training, he served on the Eastern front in the 9th Regiment of Uhlans. Later he was transferred to the 12th Regiment of Podol Uhlans and saw combat with the mounted army of Budionny under the command of Lieut. Col. Tadeusz Bor-Komorowski.
