The German invasion of Poland was the immediate cause of several countries' entry into World War II, and Polish cavalry action during that invasion was among the last major military actions ever to have been conducted on horseback. Restored version of Image:Polish cavalry in Sochaczew (1939).jpg.

Support seems a bit small to me, but I think the historic value makes up for that. -- Grandpafootsoldier (talk) 22:02, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
Click through to see it full size; this is actually one of the larger images up for FP candidacy. The thumbnail shows 250 horizontal pixels, so the appearance of smallness is just a byproduct of the aspect ratio. DurovaCharge! 22:49, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
Ah, I see. It was just the particular monitor I was using at the time. -- Grandpafootsoldier (talk) 02:43, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Oppose quality is largely unsatisfactory. As I understand nom picture's original is this, so nom is cleaned up also. I remonstrate with this as well.M.K. (talk) 09:51, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Yes, the nomination does specify that this is a restored version of that other image, and the image page specifies the alterations that were performed. Why the remonstration? This is already fully disclosed. DurovaCharge! 10:42, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
