Abstract

In his article, Dawid Madziar describes the organization of cavalry training in the Duchy of Warsaw in the years 1809—1811. It shows how, in the absence of central regulations, regimental commanders coped with the organization of training and drills. The material studied by Madziar consists of the orders issued by the commander of the 9th lancer regiment, Colonel Feliks Przyszychowski. They illustrate the influence of the instructions sent to the detachment by the General Inspector of Riding, General Aleksander Rożniecki. The colonel’s dispatches contain several valuable remarks concerning the organization of the uhlan drill, the applied triangular system, lance exercises, flanking, company and squadron maneuvers, the soldier’s school on foot and on horseback, preparations for the regiment’s vetting by the general riding inspector or advice for officers on how to conduct a “small war”.
