The First Army was a field army of the Polish Army that existed during the Polish–Soviet War. In March 1920 the Headquarters of the Army decided to disband the Front HQs active until then and reform them into separate armies. The largest of Polish fronts, the so-called Lithuanian-Belarusian Front (otherwise known as the Northern Front) was split up onto three armies: the 1st, 4th and 7th. The new 1st Army was composed mostly of former Corps-sized operational groups of Generals Edward Rydz and Józef Lasocki. Initially the command of the new formation was given to Gen. Józef Haller de Hallenburg, but eventually he took command of a new Northern Front while the 1st Army was given to Gen. Stefan Majewski. Initially it faced the Red Army's 15th Red Banner Army under Avgust Kork.

  • The First Army was a field army of the Polish Army that existed during the Polish–Soviet War. In March 1920 the Headquarters of the Army decided to disband the Front HQs active until then and reform them into separate armies. The largest of Polish fronts, the so-called Lithuanian-Belarusian Front (otherwise known as the Northern Front) was split up onto three armies: the 1st, 4th and 7th. The new 1st Army was composed mostly of former Corps-sized operational groups of Generals Edward Rydz and Józef Lasocki. Initially the command of the new formation was given to Gen. Józef Haller de Hallenburg, but eventually he took command of a new Northern Front while the 1st Army was given to Gen. Stefan Majewski. Initially it faced the Red Army's 15th Red Banner Army under Avgust Kork. The composition of the newly created army changed over time. At various times the units under Majewski's command included the 1st and 2nd Lithuanian–Belarusian Divisions, the 5th, 8th, 10th, 11th, 15th and 17th Infantry Divisions, as well as 1st and 4th Air Groups and two cavalry brigades (the 1st and 4th). Also the post of commanding officer was occupied by a succession of generals. Majewski was succeeded by (May - June 1920), then by Jan Romer (June 23–28, 1920), (June 29–31, 1920), Władysław Jędrzejewski (until August 6), Franciszek Latinik (until August 22), Lucjan Żeligowski (did not assume command) and finally Gen. (from August 23 until September 1, 1920). The chiefs of staff were Lt. Col. Adam Nałęcz Nieniewski (April and May 1920), Col. (until June 1920) and Col. Franciszek Kleeberg. Following the battle of Warsaw, the army took part in pursuit after the fleeing Russian forces and took part in the Battle of the Niemen River. However, its forces were gradually reassigned to smaller formations and by the end of August 1920 the only division under its command was the 8th Infantry. By August 20 the unit reached the Orzyc River near Krasnosielc and was disbanded, with the 8th Division withdrawn to Lesser Poland for regrouping. (en)

  • 1-я польская армия (польск. 1 Armia (II RP) — общевойсковое формирование (объединение, армия), сформированное на основании приказа Верховного главнокомандующего генерала Юзефа Пилсудского от 7 марта 1920 года, и существовавшая в ходе польско-советской войны. Состав вновь созданной армии со временем менялся. В разное время объединение под командованием включало 1-ю и 2-ю литовско-белорусские дивизии, 5-ю, 8-ю, 10-ю, 11-ю, 15-ю и 17-ю пехотные дивизии, а также 1-ю и 4-ю авиагруппы и две кавалерийские бригады (1-я и 4-я). Также должность командующего армией занимала череда генералов. Маевского сменил Густав Зигадлович (май — июнь 1920 года), затем Ян Ромер (23-28 июня 1920 г.), Мечислав Кулинский (29-31 июня 1920 г.), Владислав Енджеевский (до 6 августа), Францишек Латиник (до 22 августа), Лучан Желиговский (не принял командование) и, наконец, генерал Александр Осинский (с 23 августа по 1 сентября 1920 года). Начальниками штаба были подполковник Адам Наленч Неньевский (апрель и май 1920 года), полковник Ян Кубин (до июня 1920 года) и полковник Францишек Клиберг. После битвы за Варшаву армия приняла участие в преследовании отступающих русских войск и приняла участие в битве на реке Неман. Однако его силы постепенно были переведены в более мелкие формирования, и к концу августа 1920 года единственной дивизией под его командованием была 8-я пехотная. К 20 августу 1920 года 1-я польская армия достигла реки Оржиц близ Красносельца и было расформирована, а 8-я дивизия была выведена в Малопольское воеводство для перегруппировки. (ru)
