<br />I recently read in the excellent Naopleon1 magazine that one polish cavalry brigade was constituted entirely of Jews during the uprising of 1794 in Poland. It was called the "bearded brigade". Their leader went on to fight for the Polish corps and died in 1809 in a skirmish with Austrians. His death created a polish expression meaning "not doing too well". I'll check the article again for his name and maybe some of our Polish readers can confirm.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">
