    The commemorative badge of the 6th Armoured Regiment "Dzieci Lwowskich" was aproved as late as on 27 September 1948. As far as I am aware beret badges appeared after the war around 1945/46.
    The 6th Armoured Regiment "Dzieci Lwowskich" beret badge was formally approved on August 27, 1945.

    Here's a beret from this regiment owned by member Prosty Zolnierz:

    I thought I would share this with you. Several thousand photographs taken by the 2nd Corps at the end of, and just after the war. It's in my Dropbox. You will have seen many of these pictures before, Melchior Wankowicz used amny in his "Bitwa o Monte Cassino" Now you can own them yourself.

    Dear Andrzejku, re post 258/259. Just got a message sent to me from Andrew Dolinski.

    Dear Mark
    My profound apology for not seeing your email of Friday May 2nd until this morning. I simply had no time to lokk through the 100’s of emails in my in box until this morning. What a surprise to see what you had found.
    The information you have obtained regarding my grandfather Jan Kubinski and his brother Andrzej is wonderful. I feel like my jigsaw is beginning to come together. I can confirm that both survived the war, though my grandfather Jan was heavily wounded at Monte Cassino and spent many years in England in various hospitals recovering. Both lived until the 1970’s and are both buried in Greenford cemetery in West London. I remember both brothers talking about the war, and the name Monte Cassino became engrained in my head. Four years ago I had the chance to visit Italy and made a special effort
    The information you have obtained is priceless to me and confirms that I do have my grandfathers brothers MCC. Thank you so much for finding this out for me.
    The Kubinski family was very large with probably 15 or so being deported to Siberia. However for what ever reason they seem not to feature on any lists? Why can that be???
    Once again thank you Mark, I REALLY appreciate your kind help. Andrew


    I told him that the research was not mine. Just thought you might like to know.
    Regards, Mark

    Tony, I can see corrosion develops on the right arm of your MCC. The green residue is not patina/verdigris. If you don’t remove it pits will gradually get deeper and larger. Coin safe chemicals help remove it.


    Cheers,
    Kosa
    Thanks Kosa These are old pictures taken just after acquisition of the grouping and prior to carefully removing the verdigris using my trusty method of vinegar and a soft toothbrush.

    Regards,
    Tony

    Good I use cotton swabs and acid free lubricants to prevent recurrence of verdigris.

    Default MCCs and Medical Stuff

    Dear Panie Andrzejku,
    If I can impose on you for some more help – this time on a rather complex question that is personal to me. As I have mentioned before my granddad was a Medical Orderly in 5 (Polish) Casualty Clearing Station [SOE in Polish]. By the time the MCC were given out his station had been upgraded to a Polowy Szpital Ewakuacyjny. As far as I can see there is no British equivelent of Pol. Szp. Ewak. – „Field Clearing Hospital”, and I am sure that his unit is listed as such on the great list – MCC41616 to MCC41783.

    I have been having a long running argument with an Italian gentlemen from Cassamassina over the exact names and whereabouts of the various hosptials and medical facilities. The problem is that most references do no know how to distinguish/translate between the various units.

    Sanitarny Ośrodek Ewakuacyjny
    Polowy Szpital Ewakuacyjny
    Polowy Szpital
    Szpital Wojskowy
    Szpital Wojenny

    Casualty Clearing Station
    Field Hospital
    Military Hospital
    War Hospital


    So...

    41,447 Plk lek.dr. Marian Dietrich was the Szef Służby Zdrowia
    At some point under that is the listing for what I presume will be 3 Pol.Szpit.Ewak.
    This should lead into my grandad's unit [5 Pol.Szpit.Ewak.?]- both of these had about 160 personnel each.
    So what comes from 41784 to 42159? It's medical but what unit?

    42171 is, according to the one available listing I have been able to find, the start of "2 Medical Corps"
    42,181 Kapitan Czeslaw Szolin apparantly was in 6 HOSPITAL - this is how it was translated to English but what is the Polish? 6 Szpital Pol.?
    42,280 Siostra TOPOROWSKA Halina 1919-79-III is listed as 162 Military Hospital. Is that right? In the Polish?

    The same source lists
    42329 to 42736 as 1st Medical Hospital [yet Kosa's Post 223 had Julia Kenig MCC#42636 working in 5th Field Hospital]
    and
    42737 to 43169 as 2nd Medical Hospital. Assuming the numbers are correct, how are these hospitals listed in Polish?

    43170 43514 is listed as 2nd Medical Corps. Any ideas about what went in on there?

    I know that 43515 to 43520 is the Field Bacteriological/Chemical Unit.


    The best available list I can find is:
    Medical Corps 41447 to 42159
    2nd Medical Corps 42172 to 42328
    1st Medical Hospital 42329 to 42736
    2nd Medical Hospital 42737 to 43169
    2nd Medical Corps 43170 to 43520


    The same rather limited list has been repeated on several websites and that is one of the reasons I am trying to compile a more useful one.

    Anyway, any help you can supply in filling in the gaps in 2 Polcorps Medical services would be gratefully appreciated.

    With thanks for your continuing support and best regards,
    Mark OSTRO
