[1] The cavalry "regiments" were battalion-sized units.
[2] The 1st and 2nd Rifle Battalions were within the Pomorze Army command, but apparently not subordinate to any cavalry brigades. The 6th, 8th, and 9th Rifle Battalions were under the Poznan Army.
[3] 3rd Mounted Rifle Regiment was in actual fact a Nowogrodzka Cavalry Brigade unit, but was assigned to the Suwalska Cavalry Brigade right from the beginning of the campaign.

Ulanów has been translated as Lancer;
Szwolezerów has been translated as Light Horse;
Strzelców Konnych has been translated as Mounted Rifle.
