In this piece the author points out a puzzling paradox. Of the huge number of Poles, an estimated 3.4 million who served in the Armed Forces during the First World War, only about 60 000 were soldiers who fought in the Polish military, their wartime efforts endured as part of the Polish struggle for independence. Despite this fact, the image of the Great War in Polish literature is dominated by the viewpoint of a handful of legionnaires and members of the clandestine Polish Military Organization (POW). The war experience of the vast majority of Poles fighting in the armies of occupying powers and under foreign command, shoulder to shoulder with Germans, Austrians and Russians, remains surprisingly unarticulated and unexamined. This article is a sketchy attempt to explore what Polish war literature failed to scrutinize, whilst at the same time pointing out a few exceptions such as the works of Józef Wittlin or Kazimierz Wierzyński, which could lead the way for future reflections.
