EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a rare and historic Polish stamp issued in 1932 to commemorate the bicentenary of the Polish patriots Casimir Pulaski and Tadeusz Kosciusko, who fought alongside George Washington during the American War of Independence. The stamp features intricate designs and vivid colors, highlighting the significant contributions of these Polish heroes to American history. Casimir Pulaski, also known as the "Father of the American Cavalry," arrived in America in 1777 and quickly distinguished himself as a brilliant military commander. He organized the first American cavalry unit and played a crucial role in several key battles, including the Battle of Brandywine and the Battle of Saratoga. Pulaski was mortally wounded during the Siege of Savannah in 1779 and died shortly after. Tadeusz Kosciusko, another Polish patriot, arrived in America in 1776 and served as an engineer and artillery officer in the Continental Army. He played a vital role in the defense of Boston and the construction of fortifications at West Point. After the war, Kosciusko returned to Poland, where he became a national hero and led an unsuccessful uprising against the Russian Empire in 1794. The issuance of these stamps during the 1930s reflects the enduring appreciation for the historical connections between Poland and the United States. The photograph captures the rich history of international cooperation and the shared legacy of these brave patriots who fought for freedom and independence in two different continents.
