Polscy ochotnicy w wojnach bałkańskich – na przykładzie Józefa Lipkowskiego
Polish Volunteers in the Balkan Wars (1912–1913) – on the Example of Joseph Lipkowski

Summary/Abstract: During the Balkan Wars (1912-1913) Polish volunteers have supported the Bulgarian nation in its fight against Turkish yoke. Side by side they fought on the war fields and offered their experience as military commanders. An excellent example of that was Joseph Lipkowski, personal messenger and observer of the French Prime Minister Raymond Poincare, at the headquarters of the Bulgarian Army. In his book The war in the Balkans by the eye-witness and participant of the war, he has analyzed the activities of the Bulgarian military headquarters during the First Balkan War. The aim of this article is primarily designed to demonstrate that the participation of Poles in the history, culture and everyday life of Bulgaria was quite significant.
