2nd Polish Corps Monte Cassino Commemorative Cross - can numbers be attributed?

Can anybody please help me to resolve a mystery. It is my understanding that the above medals were issued in "blocks" or "batches" to the various Polish units serving in the 2nd Corps and that no record was kept of which uniquely numbered medal was awarded to which individual. However, I have seen a number of references online where people - apparently - seem to be able to trace the original recipient of a particular cross. I know that when originally issued the medal came with a "legitymacja" or warrant, but these were often quickly lost or separated from the medal in question.

So, can the unique number on the back of a Monte Cassino Commemorative Cross be attributed to an individual. If so, how? I would love to know!

Wielkie dzięki

I found this webpage, and it looks like the medal has a number that's assigned to each person. The webpage took a while to load, and is here:

The webpage isn't a complete listing, on the main page it states it's for a certain unit only:

Hello,
How can I find the details of the Polish soldier who received the Monte Cassino Cross, numbered 49034.
Thank in advance for any information you can offer.

You should get some info there: warrelics.eu/forum/polish-armed-forces-west-polskie-si-y-zbrojne-na-zachodzie-1939-1947/monte-cassino-cross-26547/

Thanks Looker for the link; I'm much obliged.

My father Mr Nicholas SWIETONOWSKI has left me his monti cassino medals

Stephen:My father also left me his medals, he also had the Monte Cassino Cross , I am sure you are very proud as i am, your father was a very brave man, many good poles died on that hill.

I have a monte cassino medal, my father's without a Legitymacja, and am very curious as to where one can get the detailed information I've seen in this forum just using the number from the cross?

My father's Monte Cassino Cross has the word Monte Cassino in fine silver wire through the ribbon. I have seen dozens on these medals but his is the only one I've seen with this feature. Can anyone explain its significance.
