Monte Cassino cross

**andrzejku98** · 03-11-2018, 08:18 PM

Hello Anthony,

Many thanks for your post, unfortunately I do not hold records of soldiers of the 2nd Corps who joined after the end of hostilities, the best thing I could advise would be to contact the British Ministry of Defence and ask for all copies of his service record. The link for that is below :

https://www.gov.uk/get-copy-military...-elses-records

With regards to any Polish Awards issued, the best place to look would be the PISM in London, the Sikorski Museum hold the list of all 2nd Corps Soldiers awarded the Army Medal, there are from memory 7 lists to look through.

That is all that I can advise the lady to do, both sites charge a Fee and with no guarantee of finding anything.

Would I be correct in saying that Józef Jasinek died in Cleveland in 1991?

Best wishes

Andrzej

Hello DEAR Andrzejku

Is it possible to provide what happened to these officers after the completion of combat operations and the PKRP solution.-PRC & ATS PRS.
The prepared notes will not be included in any book study, but only to clarify the further fate of these brave soldiers. Are there any photos from cemeteries available?
Is it possible to give the numbers of Monte Cassino Crosses and VM crosses if they were awarded?

1.2nd Lieutenant Stanisław NIKLEWSKI,commander 2nd company 13 BS.

I do not know whether there will be a mistake on behalf of Stanisław / Kazimierz?

2.2nd Lieutenant Romuald BILEK,commander 3th company 13 BS.
3.Lieutenant Feliks CHLEBOWSKI,commander 3th company 13 BS.
4.Captain Franciszek MALIK,commander 4th company 13 BS.
5.Lieutenant Franciszek OLKOWSKI,commander 4th company 13 BS.

THANK YOU
