(1) 3rd Mounted Rifles was in actual fact a Nowogrodzka Cavalry Brigade unit,       but was assigned to the Suwalska Cavalry Brigade right from the beginning of the campaign. (2) The 1st, 2nd Rifle Battalions were within the Pomorze Army command, but apparently not subordinate to the Pomorska Cavalry Brigade.       The 6th, 8th, and 9th Rifle Battalions were under the Poznan Army.
