Footnote: The Order of Polonia Restituta (English: Order of the Rebirth of Poland) is a Polish state order established February 4, 1921. It is conferred on both military and civilians, as well as on foreigners, for outstanding achievements in the fields of education, science, sport, culture, art, economics, national defense, social work, civil service, or for furthering good relations between countries. The Order of Polonia Restituta is sometimes regarded as Poland's successor to the Order of the Knights of Saint Stanislaus, Bishop and Martyr, known as the Order of Saint Stanislaus, established in 1765 by Stanisław August Poniatowski, the last King of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, to honour supporters of the Polish crown.
