Leokadia Dubiel & Stansilaw Tryndoch
Stasia Woj and her sister Edyta (my newfound 2nd cousins) parents were Leokadia nee Dubiel and Stanislaw Tryndoch.
Her grandparents, Jan Dubiel and Paulina (nee Raczkiewicz) (my great aunt) had 6 children in Rogozno, Poland: four girls and two boys. Leokadia (Lodzia) Tryndoch was the oldest child of Jan Dubiel and Paulina nee Raczkiewicz (my great aunt.) The family lived in Rogozno, Poland. *****
Leokadia (Lodzia) married Stanisław (Stasio) Tryndoch. He was born in 1913.
Stasio was an uhlan, cavalryman in the inter-war period in Hrubieszów. The Uhlan date from the Middle Ages when they went in advance of the armored knights. By the time of the inter-war period, they were no longer using them to break through an enemy line. They retained the ability to move around quickly on horseback but then dismounted before fighting. *****
In the picture, he is seated on a horse outside of a brick stable with open wooden doors. His uniform includes a full length dark, heavy wool coat. The coat has a wide, pointed collar, large buttons down the middle and on the cuffs, and a dark leather belt cinched at the waist with a metal buckle. His rimmed cap has a metal badge in the center. His boots are dark leather with a metal buckle.
