History / Unusual soldier (The bear - named Voytek) [71]
I'd be so interested to talk with him. I'd like to do a book with any photos available and peoples memories of Voytek before it's too late. Would he be interested in talking/tape or something. I've just done a 30 minute short film script for my Open University project, and would love to do a proper historically accurate book, lots of photos and lots of input from Polish servicemen.
Incidentaly, having waded through loads of parliamentary records from the time, I think the Polish servicemen, who fought magnificantly, were treated really badly by our British govt. I'd like to say, thanks, and sorry for the shabby treatment you got.
