7th Legions' Infantry Regiment

7th Legions Infantry Regiment (Polish language: 7 Pulk Piechoty Legionow, 7 pp Leg.) was an infantry regiment of the Polish Army. It existed from 1918 until 1939. Garrisoned first in Ostrow Mazowiecka and then in Chelm, it was part of the 3rd Legions Infantry Division.

The regiment was formed on May 1, 1918 in the centers of Polska Sila Zbrojna at Ostrow Mazowiecka and Zegrze. The new unit, which at that time was called 1st Infantry Regiment consisted of three infantry battalions and a company of machine guns. In November 1918, its soldiers disarmed German garrisons of Warsaw, Ostrow Mazowiecka and Malkinia. In early February 1919, the regiment was renamed the 7th Legions Infantry Regiment, to fight in the Polish-Soviet War.

In the Second Polish Republic, the 7th Legions Infantry Regiment was stationed in the garrison of Chelm, as part of the 3rd Legions Infantry Division. On September 24, 1933, during a special ceremony attended by President Ignacy Moscicki and General Felicjan Slawoj-Skladkowski, a monument dedicated to the soldiers of the regiment killed in the wars of 1918-1920 was unveiled in Chelm.
