Summary/Abstract: Józef Beck joined the Polish Legions as a volunteer. With his technical education, he was assigned to the artillery. As second lieutenant he fought in the Battle of Kostiuchnówka (nowadays the village of Kostyukhnivka in Ukraine) on 4–6 July 1916. At the time of the Russian attack he was in an advanced observation point, from where he successfully commanded artillery fire. He held out until the enemy approached and withdrew in the very last moment. Beck was not only a diplomat and politician, he was also a military officer and his war experiences influenced his political concepts.
