Monument to the soldiers of the 1st Polish Army, Military memorial in North Praga district, Warsaw, Poland.
The Monument to the soldiers of the 1st Polish Army is a bronze sculpture at the Wybrzeże Helskie intersection in North Praga. The figure shows a soldier in a cape and cap who holds a weapon and stands with one arm extended outward.
The memorial was built in 1985 to honor fighters from the 1st Tadeusz Kosciuszko Infantry Division. This unit fought during the Warsaw Uprising when it tried to defend the city against the occupiers.
The memorial carries the name of the 1st Army and represents the connection between the residents of Praga and the soldiers who fought for the city. Visitors can see how deeply this period matters to the local community today.
The monument sits at the edge of the Port Praski area and is easy to reach. It has wheelchair access and can be visited at any time of day since it stands outdoors in a public space.
Local residents gave the statue a nickname based on the soldier's extended hand, interpreting it as a gesture ordering drinks. This humorous name is widely known among people who have lived in Praga for years.
