Jan Jozef Kasprzyk, Head of the Office for War Veterans and Victims of Oppression, seen during the 108th anniversary of the establishment and march of the First Cadre Company (Polish: Pierwsza Kompania Kadrowa), in Miechow. The First Cadre Company (around 150 soldiers) marched from Krakow to Michalowice on 6 August 1914 overthrowing Russian border posts. After taking the town of Kielce and an unsuccessful attempt to break through to Warsaw in order to provoke an uprising, the First Cadre Company returned to Krakow, becoming the nucleus of the Polish Legions.
