pre-WW2 Polish Armoured Soldiers – Żurawiec 1929

A postcard photo showing a group of young soldiers of the Armored Forces (1st Tank Regiment, 2nd Armored Battalion) standing in front of the barracks entrance in Żurawica.

The soldiers on the sleeves of their uniforms have the characteristic “Dragon” patches used by armored units during the Second Polish Republic, and black berets also used in this formation.

On the reverse of the photo, a short dedication to a friend, a passing tradition of presenting your photo on to your loved ones as a souvenir.
