| Picture No | 10643695 |
| Date | August 1939 |
| Description | Polish cavalry at the start of World War Two |
| Details |
Poland as a military power: cavalry, tanks and infantry (part of a spread in the Illustrated London News). Poland's impressive horse cavalry are seen here, probably the best in Europe (the ILN says), and equipped with sword, lance and machine guns. [One can't help feeling the sword and lance are going to have limited effect against a Panzer tank.]
