-
Because I could ride, and somebody from the horse patrol had just died,
-
they put me on a horse and I liked it there.
-
You know, for a 15 year old boy who suddenly found himself in a guerrilla squad and was given a horse, it was real fun.
-
Of course, it did not soothe my pain not to be in the Uprising.
-
After all my sisters were there, my mother stayed in Warsaw too, and my grandma as well.
-
And me, so far without an injury... nothing happened to me.
-
I’m in the guerrilla troop, moving away from Warsaw.
-
Having crossed the Pilica we reached a village, where a large guerrilla group was stationed in a forest,
-
around a thousand soldiers. The25th Piotrków Infantry Regiment.
-
‘Lanca’ decided to join this unit, because it was a small group.
-
Just around 150 people. The 25th Regiment was quite a big unit. It was a regiment, a thousand people.
-
They gave us a warm welcome, they even gave us pay.
-
Yet the very first night ‘Lanca’ ordered to saddle up horses, pack the wagons and he retreated from the unit, God knows where.
-
In fact, he just took the pay and ran away.
-
The good thing was that our commander, lieutenant ‘Osuch’ was on friendly terms with the commander of the regiment in Włodzimierz,
-
and he supported us and the major accepted us in the regiment after all.
-
In this regiment we secured its position in the village of Mechlin. For almost a month.
-
But after this time we went to another place, a bad one, because it was close to a road.
-
It ended sadly, because the Germans attacked. It was too close to the road and these people died.
-
Yet we luckily were left unharmed. Nobody attacked us.
