    Description

    Graduating Polish Cadets leaving the Polish Army’s Cadet Infantry School (Szkoły Podchorążych Piechoty) in Komorowo, Ostrów Mazowiecka. Late 1930s. There was no regular public transportation from the school, but local peasants knew when the Cadets were going somewhere and showed up in their wagons (furmanki) and cried “let’s go Mr. Lieutenant” (“jadziem panie poruczniku”). For these Cadets, it was the last “jadziem panie poruczniku.”
