The organization and structure of Polish troops in the Far East in 1920
Abstract
From the autumn of 1919 – as a result of the great Bolshevik offensive - the 5th Rifle Division (Siberian) retreated east as the rear guard of the remaining „white” troops, stopping the enemy pursuit. Her march to Zabajkala was accompanied by heavy fights in the difficult conditions of the Siberian winter, including in the vicinity of the railway stations Tutalskaya, Litvinov and near the city of Taiga. In January 1920, after establishing secret contacts between the Czechoslovak Corps and the Bolsheviks, the echelons of the 5th Polish Rifle Division were surrounded and on January 10, 1920, they had to capitulate and lay down their arms near the Klukwiennaja railway station (120 km east of Krasnoyarsk). The remnants of the division, not agreeing to surrender, organized in Harbin into a Separate Infantry Battalion under the command of Captain Józef Werobe and other units. After their evacuation by sea to Gdańsk in 1920, there
was also a transport of Polish soldiers who were still in Vladivostok. Some of these soldiers took part in the battles with the Bolsheviks in Poland.
