Armed Forces Day , known also as the Feast of the Polish Armed Forces (Polish: Święto Wojska Polskiego ), is a national holiday celebrated annually on 15 August in Poland, commemorating the anniversary of the 1920 victory over Soviet Russia at the Battle of Warsaw during the Polish–Soviet War. ... Armed Forces Day is celebrated throughout Poland, with military parades, commemorations for active personnel, veterans, and the dead. As the day coincides with the religious Day of the Assumption, church masses across the country reflect on the memory of Poland's military dead. The Battle of Warsaw 1920. The Defeat of the Empire of Evil : The Battle of Warsaw in 1920 was not only a culminating moment of the Polish-Bolshevik war but also one of the decisive events in the history of Europe and the world. The British diplomat Lord Edgar Vincent D’Abernon, an eyewitness to those events, claimed in his book The Eighteenth Decisive Battle of the World that the Poles had saved the Western civilization from the fanatical tyranny of the Soviet. Unfortunately, the European nations are not aware of this historical fact. I took this shot depicting members of the Representative Honor Guard Regiment of the Polish Armed Forces (and the regimental military band) in August 2015 at Pęcice but I think it fits today celebrations quite well. ----- Mamiya 645 AF + Kodak Portra 160 + Tetenal Colortec
