Biography:

Andrzej Gregorowicz (1806-1838) - Polish lawyer, surgeon, cavalry lieutenant in the November Uprising. Among other things, he took part in the Frankfurt expedition. After the fall of the uprising, he emigrated to Great Britain, where he first settled in Dublin. While there, he took up legal and medical studies (he graduated from the Royal Academy of Medicine). In his first profession, he gained recognition, for example, by acting as an accuser before the Court of Poles in Switzerland of Antoni Szczepanowski, who had urged Poles in Switzerland to join General Józef Bem's legion in Portugal. However, the Court of Second Instance dropped the then controversial 'public reprimand' sentence. A resident of Edinburgh since 1836. Died of typhoid fever, infected while giving aid to the local poor.

His character ('secretary') was immortalised in the poem 'Panegyric. Council of Poles in Switzerland 1833' by Antoni Stefanski, poet and November insurgent, and 'Memoirs of the 1831 Rising and the First Years of Emigration' by Jan Bartkowski.
