Monte Cassino cross

[andrzejku98]

Hello Dawid,

Many thanks for your post,the Monte Cassino Cross that you have posted has been cleaned removing the original finish to the cross the ribbon is original.

The recipients details when awarded were as follows:

Rank : Strzelec (Rifleman)

Surname : CIESLAK

Christian Name : Józef

Date of Birth : 1920

Army Number : (also found on His ID Tags) : 1920-52-III

Unit : KGD2K

Dawid did you pick this piece up in Poland, because a Józef Cieslak Born 23rd September 1920 died 6th July 1969, Buried 9th July 1969 in the Grabiszyn Cemetery in Wrocław. He is the closest that I was able to find on any records.

I sincerely hope that the above information is of some use and help to you.

Best wishes

Andrzej
