First Battle of Chruślina

The First Battle of Chruslina was a clash between Polish rebel forces and units of the Imperial Russian Army during the January Uprising. It took place on May 30, 1863 near the village of Chruslina, which at that time belonged to Russian-controlled Congress Poland. Rebel forces, commanded by Marcin Borelowski and Zygmunt Koskowski (altogether 180 men) fought off a Russian detachement. Poles lost 22 men; Russian losses were higher, but due to Russian numerical superiority, the rebels had to withdraw towards Garwolin.
