Polish-Soviet War

According to a Polish biography (quoted in Polish Wikipedia), he was a brave soldier. The LC doesn't mention it. Aren't both stories true? Xx236 11:29, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Polish 'pedia says that he was "participant of polish-bolshevik war", which is basically true. You know, cooks, truck drivers, musicians, artists, etc. may serve army in their profesional capacities without being brave soldiers. Also, he was not clerk. He was artist. mikka (t) 16:21, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I see what you meant. Well, his official bio (eg., referenced in en: wiki) says he was in charge of artisitic propaganda and says nothing about actual fighting in polish-soviet war. The article you mentioned, while provides important information about him as artist, leaves me suspicious whether the author knew details about this war, since it does not say a word about Szyk's professional activity in this period (although "Szyk as artist" is the main topic of this polish article). I suspect that the author of the article knew that Szyk was in Army, but he had absolutely no idea what Szyk did there. From what I've read, Szyk was sitting in Lodz, nowhere near Polish-Soviet front.  mikka (t) 18:46, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
