WACŁAW JĘDRZEJEWICZ AS A MILITARY ATTACHÉ AND HEAD OF THE POLISH LEGATION IN TOKYO (1925–1928)

Summary/Abstract: Wacław Jędrzejewicz (1893–1993) was the longest surviving member of Józef Piłsudski’s closest entourage. During his lengthy life Jędrzejewicz served his fatherland in a wide variety of ways. The main focus of the article is the period between 1925 and 1928, when he served in Tokyo as the first Polish military attaché, subsequently becoming the head of the Polish legation in Japan, due to the vacancy for the position of deputy. During this time Jędrzejewicz actively worked towards establishing a closer relationship between Poland and Japan. Among his many initiatives was strengthening of the joint anti-USSR activity of the Polish and Japanese intelligence. He was also an attentive observer of Japanese politics and the accounts he sent to Poland remain a valuable resource for any researcher of Japanese interwar history.
