Organizacja administracji żywności wojska w okresie powstania listopadowego (1830-1831)

Abstract

The issues which are the subject of this analysis concern the process of organising the food administration structure of the Polish army during the national liberation uprising against the Russian Empire known as the November Uprising. In the period of less than a year from the outbreak to the collapse of the Uprising, the administration responsible for supplying the army with food underwent several structural changes, as the insurrectionary authorities strove to create a legal institution which would meet the supply obligations imposed on it efectively and on time. Basing mainly on archival sources, the author reconstructs the evoltion of the organisation of both the structure of the army’s central food administration with particular emphasis on its office principles, as well as its field organs and subordinate field cells.
