I am trying to trace more details in respect of Lt. Stanislaw Slesicki also known as Stach, so far I have found the following: born 29/03/1907 Ciechanow, Warszawa, Poland and died in Arnhem 22/09/1944 Age: 37during Operation Market Garden Gravesite: Arnhem Oosterbeek War Cemetery, Netherlands 34 A 15 P He was first buried in the Roman Catholic Churchyard at Driel.oland Award: Krzyz Walecznych KIA Driel, Holland, Arnhem Service number 4461. He flew to Driel on chalk number 89. I know he had a brother who was killed in Poland but I have no details of names or dates. I am trying to find out more about him and his family and if any photographs of him are available in his uniform. I do have a picture of him in civilian clothes. He is not a relation but he was briefly engaged to my late mother when they met in Glasgow in 1940. The only other information I have is that when he was living in Poland he was a lawyer.
Looking for information regarding WW2 Polish Paratrooper Lt Stanislaw Slesicki from Ciechanow

In 1935 he graduated and received a master's degree in law. In 1936 he was appointed to serve a one-year military service in the 20th Infantry Division (...)
