Kazimierz Małachowski of Gryf (1765–1845)[1] was a Polish military officer and a general of both the armed forces of Duchy of Warsaw and the Kingdom of Poland.[citation needed] He served with the Danube Legion in Haiti in 1803, returning to France with the survivors in 1804. He was a colonel by 1812 and commanded a regiment in Jan Henryk Dąbrowski's army corps.[1]
A recipient of Virtuti Militari for his actions during the Napoleonic Wars, he is best remembered as one of the last Commanders-in-Chief of the failed November Uprising. He assumed command shortly after the disastrous battle of Warsaw.[citation needed]
