The LIfe of Leokadia Dubiel & Stanislzw Tryndoch

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 they dismounted before fighting. In the picture, Stasio 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 Leokadia (Łodzią) Dubiel (my mother’s cousin) married Stanisław (Stasio) Tryndoch and they lived in Rogozno, Poland.
