Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Bartosz Głowacki Memorial, Myślenicka Street, Gdów. "God, Honor, Homeland. Association of Friends of the Earth in Gdow 2007. In honour of famous Polish peasant Bartosz Głowacki, hero of Racławic, 'Falcon' 1794 – 1903."

Wojciech Bartos(z) Głowacki (1758–1794), known also as Bartosz Głowacki, was a Polish peasant and the most famous member of the peasant volunteer infantry during the Kościuszko Uprising in 1794. Born as Wojciech Bartosz, he became a Polish national hero during the Battle of Racławice (pl) on 4 April 1794, when he captured a Russian cannon by extinguishing the fuse with his hat. For this, he was promoted to the rank of 'Ensign' and attributed the surname 'Głowacki'. He was mortally wounded during the Battle of Szczekociny (pl) on 6 June that year. Since then he has become one of the symbols of Polish Uprising and Polish valor.

The Scotch Mist Gallery contains many photographs of historic buildings, monuments and memorials of Poland.
