Genealogy / Polish Soldiers Dunblane, Scotland WW2 [16]

Merged: Looking for Poles stationed in Scotland (Arbroath, Forfar and Montrose)during the early months of 1942

Recently had my Ancestry DNA results returned and find that I am not 100% Scottish as I thought. My results suggest that I am 48% Eastern European and only 42% UK. A match was found and he is my second cousin whose family came from around the Krasnik area of Poland. Because I was born in Forfar, Scotland and lived in Montrose growing up I realize that my father had to belong to one of the regiments serving in the Polish army. The 24th Lancers were in Arbroath and the 10th Mounted Rifle Regiment served in Forfar, these towns are within a 10 mile radius of Arbroath, Forfar and Montrose.

The names of my second cousin are Jusko, and family surnames are Ksiazek, Kowalik or Duma who also came from the Krasnik areas of Poland. Any help would be appreciated in finding my biological father.

I know this is a long shot but read that some of you have photographs of the 24th Lancers, etc.
