My father, Stanislaw Florian was in Polish 2nd Corps in Italy. His Driving licence for military vehicles has no. 30292/46 ..is this his army number? What does Nr.ewid. 119/3(written in italics mean?
Is there a list of names of who was in Poland's Anders army?
I am not too sure how to proceed. My father was born in a polish refugee camp in Arusha Tanzania. His mother died and he was orphaned. I have his birth certificate with the name of his father who was serving in Anders Army at the time. Henryk Roskosnik. I have no other information about him. On the records also states his uncles name Aleksander Rein who was also serving in the Anders Army. How shall I proceed about finding out more information about the 2 of them? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
I am trying to find information on my late grandfather - Mojzesz (Morris) Glatman
He was a Polish soldier (private in the cavalry) and prisoner in Siberia in WWII.
At the formation of the Anders army, he was in a group of soldiers sent via Persia and then South Africa, to UK. He trained in the Dumfries area of Scotland.
Does anyone know where I might begin my research? What part of the Polish army was stationed in that part of Scotland? Ideally I am trying to recover any formal documents relating to his military service.
Thank you.

Hello. I have a photo of your grandfather in uniform. Presumably you already have that. I heard the story something like this too, but nothing concrete. It came straight from the horse's mouth, so to speak, so probably nothing you don't already know. Thanks for filling in some gaps. I was trying to figure out what route he would have taken to Scotland as he mentioned Africa. I will check in here and get back to you if you would like to communicate. He was always telling me about his grandsons.
May his memory be a blessing.
