Weteran Armii Hallera zmarły w 2000 roku życzył sobie, by został skremowany w mundurze...

Charles Cwiakala
144th Marksman Regiment
18th Division

Eager to fight for his homeland, Charles Cwiakala lied about his age in order to join up and fight for the independence of Poland. He fought in France in WWI and in the Ukraine during the Polish Soviet War of 1919-1920. Among the decorations he received were the Cross of Valor, the Cross of Merit and the Volunteers War Cross. Fiercely proud of his service to Poland, he kept his uniform tailored to fit through his entire life and was regularly honored by the Polish Consulate in Chicago as one of the last surviving veterans of Haller’s Army. Charles passed away in the year 2000 at the age of 97, his final wish was to be buried in his Polish Army uniform… which he was.
