History / Is there a list of those in the Polish Army during WWII? [193]

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.
