Monte Cassino cross

[Cern1]

Witam serdecznie, właśnie zakupiłem na aukcji internetowej rzeczony krzyż nr.7645 i jakimś cudem go tu odnalazłem jak igłe w stogu siana, coś niesamowitego, szkoda tylko tej legitymacji, bo nie wiedzialem,że akurat też jest do zdobycia na aukcjach, zostanie mi tylko jej zdjecie, pozdrawiam

[Cern1]

Będę wdzięczny za informacje nt. odznaczonego pana Franciszka Kożuszka,jego pozostałych odznaczeń i dokumentów.

Hello Cern1

In my opinion it should look like this:


Kożuszek's awards:


Miniatures of awards:


Legitymacja/Id card Kożuszek's MCC


Kożuszek's MCC without ribbon.


ID card 1939-1945 Star end Italy Star-British awards.


British awards:Stars and miniature


There is something more on this card. Signature major SUCHARSKI,commander WESTERPLATTE.


ID card/legitymacja badge 3 DSK number 6982


Badge 3 DSK


Polish Army Medal x1 and ID card/legitymacja

Ps.:Kożuszek was not awarded KW.
I do not know if he fought in Africa.I do not know if he was awarded British Africa Star?

That is all that I have been able to find for you.


Best wishes
