Another renowned cavalry regiment from the rebirth of Poland.

A Polish wikipedia page has a bit about the regiment history. They also took part in the greatest cavalry battle since 1813 - the Battle of Komarow. The regiment was part of the 7th Cavalry Brigade.

The banner is in two parts - the flag itself and a ribbon to go around the staff at the top.

Both were made by the female relatives of the men in the regiment. The colour is crimson and used in the modern day national flag of Poland. The banner was used during the fighting in Ukraine but sent home for safe keeping in late-1920.

The ribbon has the Poniatowski CoA and the words - matki żony córki. which means mothers wives daughters.
