Hello Artem,

Many thanks for your post, I have checked the Register of Recipients of the Monte Cassino Cross and found only 1 Listed who was born in 1915 and served in 5PAPpanc.

But I did find him listed in soldiers of 3DSK and on the Kresy-Siberia site :

Rank : Strz. (Rifleman)

Surname Pietkiewicz

Christian Name : Antoni

Date of Birth : 1925

Army Number : (also found on His ID Tags) : 1925-362-III

I hope this helps best wishes

Hello Konrad,

Thank you for information.
I guess Pietkiewicz you mentioned could be from the same region as mine Pietkiewicz (he stayed alive) and they even could be relatives. I'll try to check this version throught local history expert.

Br,
Artem
