Early life
Kazimierz Fabrycy was born on March 3, 1888, in Odessa, in the Kherson Governorate of the Russian Empire. Upon graduating from school in Niemirów he enrolled for a year-long military service in the Russian army. He followed this with enrollment at Polytechnic School of Lviv and then later at the Technical University of Munich. From this latter institution he was conferred a degree in engineering.

Between 1908 and 1910 he co-founded first the Union of Active Struggle and then the Rifle Association.{{cite web|title=KAZIMIERZ FABRYCY|url=http://desertwar.net/kazimierz-fabrycy.html|publisher=desertwar.net|accessdate=25 January 2013}}
