Abstract
Affairs of Honour of General Włodzimierz Ostoja–Zagórski in 1923–1928The military career of General W. Ostoja–Zagórski, albeit not long (it ended with his mysterious disappearance in August 1927), brimmed with assorted events. Some of them, in particular those dating from the Polish Legions period, gave rise to controversies among political and officer circles since the General’s ambiguous stance considerably undermined his honesty, patriotism or honour. This article brings the reader closer to three affairs of honour pertaining to General Zagórski and examined by a Generals Court of Honour in 1923–1928. The procedure of these court trials not only demonstrates several decisive moments in his Army service and the attempt at explaining them made by the military administration of justice, but also the mechanisms of the functioning of Officers Courts of Honour. Almost the entire text is based on unpublished archival material.
