Henryk Roycewicz was not a well-known figure. His name would be difficult to find on the pages of textbooks for the history of Poland, he was also not included in the most popular encyclopedias. Who was he then? A Pole coming from a family with patriotic traditions, but born in times of persecution in the Russian partition. A soldier of the First World War, a cavalryman of the Second Republic, an athlete, an almost perfect rider, an Olympic medalist, a riding coach. Roycewicz was also a soldier of the September Campaign, then the Home Army, an activist of the underground, and finally a Warsaw insurgent – commander of the “Kiliński” Battalion. For the last two “offenses” he paid a high price – accusations of treason, sentence and a six-year stay in the Stalinist prison. After his release and rehabilitation, he returned to horse riding and remained faithful to it almost until the end of his life. Although he died more than a quarter of a century ago, he still lives in the memories of the older generation of riders, and above all his comrades-in- arms, their families, war veterans, for whom he has become a legend during his lifetime. The aim of the article was to present an outstanding figure of a soldier-patriot, sportsman-Olympian, sports activist.

Henryk Roycewicz nie należy do postaci powszechnie znanych. Jego nazwisko trudno odnaleźć na kartach podręczników do historii Polski, nie ma go także w większości popularnych ency-klopedii. Kim więc był? Polakiem, pochodzącym z rodziny o tradycjach patriotycznych, ale uro-dzonym w czasach prześladowań w zaborze rosyjskim. Żołnierzem pierwszej wojny światowej, kawalerzystą Drugiej Rzeczypospolitej, sportowcem, jeźdźcem niemal doskonałym, medalistą olimpijskim, trenerem jeździectwa. Roycewicz był także żołnierzem kampanii wrześniowej, póź-niej Armii Krajowej, działaczem konspiracji, w końcu powstańcem warszawskim – dowódcą Ba-talionu „Kiliński”. Za dwa ostatnie „przewinienia” zapłacił wysoką cenę – oskarżeniem o zdradę ojczyzny, wyrokiem skazującym i sześcioletnim pobytem w stalinowskim więzieniu. Po zwolnie-niu i rehabilitacji, wrócił do jeździectwa i pozostał mu wierny niemal do końca życia. Mimo że zmarł ponad ćwierć wieku temu, nadal żyje we wspomnieniach starszego pokolenia jeźdźców, a przede wszystkim swoich towarzyszy broni, ich rodzin, środowisk kombatanckich, dla których jeszcze za życia stał się legendą. Celem artykułu było przedstawienie wybitnej postaci żołnierza-patrioty, sportowca-olimpijczyka, działacza sportowego.

One of the main results of systems changes that have been under way in Poland for several years is, besides other things, the Polish meat industry's possibility to compete, which makes it necessary that as many Polish meat plants as possible reach the EU hygienic, sanitary and technical standards. This process was speeded up in the last three years. It is not realistic to think that all Polish meat plants which undergo modernisation programmes will achieve EU standards on the day of Poland's accession to EU. It is possible that about 1,800 meat plants will reach such standards by the end of 2004. This can create a production base, which will effectively compete by means of prices and quality of meat and processed meat products with producers of such products in other EU countries.
