I think it is great. What do you think of when you see it? Mike I think it looks stupid but let it be if residents of Rzeszów want it, and most do. They got used to it and even boast that in the whole world only there you can see a monument to ........ . Another one, in Warsaw, from 1945 - the monument to Polish and Soviet Brothers in Arms. Commonly known and denoted as Four Sleepers or Three Fighters and Four Sleepers. Strangely, I never saw it. images.wikia.com/warszawa/images/b/bb/Pomnik-braterstwa-broni.jpg   |

Marshall Pi³sudski used to ride his beloved mare called Kasztanka (Brownie/Chestnutty).   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KasztankaKasztanka is the Polish word for the chestnut color in horses, and Pi³sudski so named his horse due to her color.
She was foaled at Ludwik Popiel's Czaple Ma³e (Little Herons) estate probably in 1909 or 1910, and reared at his Czaple Wielkie (Great Herons) estate, in Miechów County, Kraków Province. Offered by her owner to the riflemen of the First Brigade of the Polish Legions, she became the service mount of Commandant Józef Pi³sudski, who entered Kielce on her in August 1914 and kept her as a riding horse until her untimely death 13 years later.
She was an elegant mare of moderate height, about 14.3 hands (59 inches, 150 cm) at the withers, chestnut (light reddish-brown) in color, with markings that included a blaze and four white stockings.The monument in Katowice stands against the official version:  |
