By the way, does anyone know what this "korpusuwka" means? I was looking for information but I can't find. Thank you very much and sorry for not speaking polish.
All these finds are from Lithuania. Mostly from places where stood 23 Pułk Ułanów Grodzieńskich.
Hi,
great photos of your finds - can you tell me something more about context of your polish finds?? Tell me if your findings are from the forest or the field... perhaps some the battlefield

"Korpusowka" means a badge carried on a uniform that informs about the kind of corps (f.e. aircraft, cavalry, engineering troops etc.) in the army
Here they are: http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korpus%C3%B3wka
Near Wilno I found a small village which during WWII actions was burned by Germans. During 1919-39 period when Wilno was a part of Poland that place was settled by polish soldiers and near by was a huge training yard. Regarding some information, finds, I found out that somewhere in 1939 they had a contact with russians in that place(maybe I am wrong about date but the fact is that there was a contact between them). Time at a time there is possible to find bones, intimate soldier things(like ID tags), ammunition and so on. Here I drew I small map of some acctions in that place.
Next time I will take pictures of that place but I don't really want to mention the regiments or direct places because I am acctually the first who started digging there.
Thank you everyone for the answers, I really appreciate it. Next weekend I am planing to go for diging and I promise to take pictures of that location.
Problem is that there are lots of trashes and searching for war relicts is kinda hard. Besides, depth is quete big. Mostly finds are in 1-1.5 metre
