Genealogy / Does anyone have any relatives who served with 1st Polish Armoured Division (Gen. Maczek) [311]

I just came upon this site 04/20/08.

My father Stanislaw Ziolkowski, lieutenant, at the time of the war was with the 24th Lancers. I recently translated his memiors from the first few weeks of the war in the southern part of Poland around Krakow. I too have some photos.

Peter:

If you like I'll pdf you a copy of what I translated. Also, I noted in your first inquiry the name Starzynski. Dad and he were friends. Dad mentions him in his memiors. His wife and two daughters lived in my parents home in a separate flat and Starzynski worked a Tuna ship in the Caribbean and visited when he could. The oldest daughter Anna married and move to the north of England, I seem to recall. Mrs Starzynska eventually moved to Wales with the youngest daughter.

I hope this helps and that it's the right Starzynski.

Peter: Thank you for keeping this up for so many years. I've noted the threads since we first made contact. This is very impressive and kudos for the effort. I'm certain you are managing to stitch clearer pictures for many who have responded. A few years ago I emailed you a copy of a little booklet about the 24th Lancers. I have 2 more which my father left me. Now, that I have a little time, I would be willing to make copies and pdf them to you.

I imagine that others would also likely be interested. I'm not sure if you have the time and capacity to post the images of these booklets for other to see.
