Genealogy / Look for familly dr. Zbigniew Lachowicz/Manchester [6]

Dear Lechh99,

I just read your message about your search for photographs of Dr Zbigniew S. Lachowicz, born 23 th May 1913, son of Franciszek and Olga L.achowicz. He gradutated as a doctor in the University Jan Kazimierz in LWOW. He was Lieutenant in the Polish forces, medical corps, 1st Polish Armoured Division of General Maczek. He became director of the department of radiology in the University Hospital at Manchester. He died in Manchester on the 27th November 1970. Awarded Cross of Merit with Swords.

I got these data from the Sikorski Museum at London (Dr Andrzew Suchcitz).

Lt Dr Zbigniew Lachowicz was billeted at our home, in Turnhout (Province of Antwerp, Belgium) , in October 1944. He became a real friend to our family and me. May I point out that we were liberated by the gallant men of general Maczek's division and de British 49th Infantry Division in September -October 1944. I was 17 years old then, and I will never forget this. Dr Lachowicz went to England after the war, and we lost his trace.

For several years , I was myself looking for photographs of this good man and also some contacts with his family. Did you already find pictures of your grand-father. I would be very grateful if you could share them with me. Many thanks beforehand.

Jacques
