Is there a list of those in the Polish Army during WWII?

There are archives available, check this link:

My fathers name was Jerzy Solowiej he lived in the northeast of Poland near Vilno and joined a local regiment at the begining of the war. The only thing I know is that he was at Monte Cassino fighting with the allies at the same time as my father-in-law who was from Yorkshire. He came to England after the war looking for his mother and sister and found them in a refugee camp in Shropshire called Wheaton Aston. He met my mother there and after they married they moved to another refugee camp in Oxfordshire called Springhill where I was born. Neither my mother or father talked about their lives before they came to England I would welcome any information in order for me to find out a little more.

I believe I have a relevant piece of information..I am reading a French book called "La Vie des Morts" by Agnès Chabrier. The dedication in the book is to a Captain Roman Sikora, killed at Falaise on 8 August 1944. The dedication in French reads: "A la mémoire bien-aimée de mon fiancé, le Capitaine Roman Sikora, tombé dans les combats pour Falaise, le 8 août 1944". I hope this helps your research. There might be a war grave where he is buried; perhaps you might be able to find more information on him at the Sikorski Museum in London. Best wishes.

My father was stationed in Italy from 1946 his unit was the pulku 7 pancerny does anyone know where he would be stationed his name Antoni szeniawski

Tadeus Solecki PTE: 30076224 PRC Discharge 29 JAN 1949 Witley Camp, Surrey. My late father never spoke about his childhood or wartime experience. When Germany invaded Poland I believe he was in a seminary and taken into forced labour and somehow escaped to the Middle East where he later joined up with the eight army. I have pictures of him wounded on leave in Rome, dog tags and Soldiers service and Pay Book issued for discharge but containing no real information. His elder brother and only remaining relative came over from Poland for the funeral but said he was never in the military (I did not press the matter- he is no longer alive).

I am struggling to find any information on his war record. There are also discrepancies over his date of birth. Discharge papers read: 28.3.1922, Wybrance Polska; School Record reads 28.3. 1928 (he may have lied about his age to get into the army?). UK Passport reads 1928 under the name Frederick Ralph Brown.

After his death I changed my name back to Solecki.

II would appreciate some assistance in finding out what really happened to my late father. He married an English girl my mother who sadly died when I was young. He evidently embraced British citizenship not raising his sons as catholic or sending us to the Polish Club to learn Polish.

I also have an Allied Expeditionary Force DP Index Card: G 08941039 if this helps, as far as I know he did not keep in touch with any Polish friends or associates.

I would like to thank you in advance for your time on this matter.

My Grandfather was Stefan Zuraw, who served in the 1st Armoured Division. I don't have much to go on, apart from some old photos of his training in Scotland and some stories of evading capture escaping from Poland at the start of the war and a few mentions of Sherman tanks. He was born in 1914 in Melanów and baptised nearby in Łaskarzew , and died at the age of 86 in London.

Would love to find out more about his military records, but also more about his background.

My father BOLESLAW ANDREJ GAWIN, b.1910 Cracow Poland, d: 1989 Consett , Co Durham. (Metallurgist at Consett Iron Works)
Escaped from Poland during the war through/over the Carpathian mountains , was variously interned (Hungary), bombed out and shot at in France during the retreat, and picked up by a British destroyer on convoy duty heading for the USA. Made it across the Atlantic, was not allowed ashore there, and returned in the warship to London despite many U-Boat sinkings on the way back.

Any information or knowledge gratefully received..
Thanks

Hello @jpwin26, the Free Polish Army records for those that where merged into British Army during World War II are at the British Army Archieves for the Regular British Army. You can search for the family with Poznań Project for a search through all church records like Roman Catholic, Orthodox Church some, Calvinist and Lutheran. Try FHL Family History Library Micorfilm records on line to find your family. Note records are in Latin with Polish surnames and you may want to look at a copy of German Empire Atlas of 1892 so you see the Polish and German Names for towns and cities in Provinces to figure out which one is your ancestry town.

the Polish soldiers at the end of the war tried to find billet at Tulliechewan castle an R.N. base in Scotland,but,the homeless women and children in the valley got there first,so, the Poles,like Gentlemen left them to it.my grandad was para,Arnhem.

@vibor13
Are you a grandson/daughter of one of those Polish soldiers?

Hi, I'm trying to find information about my great-uncles service records . His name was Rudolf Malysz he was a Polish paratrooper but told me very little about his time in service.

I belive he trained in Scotland and was then transferred to East England.
After the war he settled in Warwick untill he passed away aged 92 in 2017

For people of Polish background who have documentation/photos etc. of their family that was involved in WWII (or WWI), you can contact the Archive of Full Remembrance (Archiwum Pełne Pamięci) at the Institute of National Remembrance (Instytut Pamięci Narodowej) in Warsaw. They are interested in collecting people's stories of their contributions to Poland's independence and to the war effort.

See: archiwumpamieci.pl/ (information in Polish) or archiwumpamieci.pl/?lang=en (information in English). There are already many stories. An exhibition was done from Tadeusz Starzyński's story. (Cichociemny paratrooper)(I got to do the translation into English.) If they can't help you with your enquiries, they can certainly direct you to someone who can.
