Genealogy / Does anyone have any relatives who served with 1st Polish Armoured Division (Gen. Maczek) [310]
Hi everyone. I am looking for any information/relatives....anything about my maternal grandfather.
His birth name was Boleslaw Olszak (his name is Bill in polish) Born July 14, 1917 in Osada Nowy Michalin nad Bogiem, Poland. He had 3 boy’s named Marian,Henryk and Jan who all died from starvation on their way to Siberia. He joined the Polish army, First Armored Division under the command of General Maczek and had an honorable discharge on Feb. 13, 1948 then immigrated to England.
It might sound like I already know alot about him but I never had a chance to meet him. He died in 1995 here in Canada.
I would love any information of his parents, siblings, cousins and anyone he served in the war with. I have no photos.
I thank you kindly in advance.
