Genealogy / Does anyone have any relatives who served with 1st Polish Armoured Division (Gen. Maczek) [311]
Hello Greg,my uncle Zdzislaw Ziemski who returned to Poland after WW2 won the virtuti militari for his exploits in the 24th lancers during the 1939 campaign and I recently received some documentation from the Sikorski institute about this which I forwarded to my cousin Andrew(his son) who lives in South Afica.I tried to get his service record from MOD in Northolt but Andrew cannot trace his father's death certificate so no luck.Crazy-he would be over 100 if he was alive!However I would be very obliged if you could give me any more information or possibly photographs.I am the son of Ludwik Ziemski who was also in 1st armoured div and was brought up in Dunfermline.Blessings to those heroes-they never received their just rewards!
