On 30 August of that year, Poland's forces, led by Juliusz Rómmel, won the largest cavalry battle of the 20th century near Zamosc, south east Poland over the numerically superior Russian 1st Cavalry.
Celebrations of the event continue on Sunday at the Hippodrome racing track, where there are picnics and riding displays. (pg)
