He was baptised as a Roman Catholic on January 12, 1890. While attending high school in Kamieniec, young Kossecki was a member of a secret Polish patriotic organization “Association of Polish Youth”, later joining Union of Active Struggle, which was active in nearby Austrian Galicia.
After graduation in 1911, he joined Imperial Russian Army’s 13th Foot Rifles Regiment, which was subjected to Grand Duke Nicholas Nikolaevich. In 1912 Kossecki was promoted to Chorąży.

He lost his right hand, and was sent to the hospital. After one year, Kossowski upon his own request returned to the service. Promoted to Stabskapitan, he was awarded Golden Eagle of the Order of St. George.
In late 1917, while at Odessa, Kossowski joined 7th Regiment of Polish Rifles. He was responsible for elimination of pro-Bolshevik elements among the volunteers to the unit. Later on, he was joined Polish I Corps in Russia, commanded by General Józef Dowbor-Muśnicki. He fought the Red Army in Belarus: during the Battle of Rahachow (February 1918), in which his company repelled fanatical Bolshevik regiment of Latvians, he was in 1922 awarded Solver Cross of the Virtuti Militari. After Polish I Corps in Russia was disarmed by the Germans, Kossecki came to former Congress Poland.

After graduation in 1926, he was promoted to the rank of Officer of Polish General Staff, and Marshal Józef Piłsudski sent him to the Army Inspectorate in Torun. In 1928, Kossecki was named commandant of 10th Infantry Regiment from Łowicz, where he remained until 1930. In 1930 - 1934, he lectured at military schools at Zambrów and Bydgoszcz.
