Life

Julian Stachiewicz was the brother of General Wacław Stachiewicz.

Before World War I he joined the Riflemen's Association. In 1914-21 he fought in the Polish Legions, the Polish Military Organization, the Greater Poland Uprising, the Polish-Ukrainian War, and the Polish-Soviet War. He briefly commanded the 13th Infantry Division and in 1923 became head of the Military Bureau of History (Wojskowe Biuro Historyczne), being promoted a year later to brigadier general.

In 1928 he created the Military Historical Review (Wojskowy Przegląd Historyczny), a journal that is published to this day. He was involved with Polish Radio and was a member of academic societies such as the Polish Academy of Learning.

He was awarded the Virtuti Militari (V class) (1921), the Polonia Restituta (IV and III class), the Cross of Independence with Swords, and four times the Cross of Valour.

gollark: It's a weird restriction, considering that presumably if you can engineer an entire missile you can also work out a way around restrictions in GPS hardware, to be honest.
gollark: Apparently the US was worried about GPS being used by enemy ICBMs (???) so now consumer GPS devices will refuse to work above certain speeds/heights.
gollark: You can do GPS with RTL-SDRs apparently, which gets around the weird height/speed restrictions in consumer devices.
gollark: There's interesting stuff with satellites and whatnot, but that needs a lot of hardware.
gollark: I got an RTL-SDR ages ago but didn't have much to do with it, so I decided to look at the blog and still don't have much to do with it, but read about cool stuff occasionally.
