Hello Everyone

One of the soldiers from behind the Bug River.
He was deported to Siberia in 1950 and lived for 90 years from what I read.

,,Вот такая непростая у дедушки была судьба. Вместе с советами сражались против фашистов, брал штурмом Монте Касино, получил ( неза просто так) кучу наград, выжил и вернулся домой (хотя было много возможностей остаться в Англии, на западе. А дома никто не ждал. Жена уже с другим. Женился пошли детки,нажил хозяйство... А в 50х годах большевики объвили врагом народа все забрали и с семьей в Сибирь.. Благо выжил вернулся в свои края и дожил до 90 лет.. Жаль я его не застал.Думаю интересно было пообщаться бы..
выставляю фото документов на награды (сами награды к сожалению утеряны..)"

Hello Artee

Świertoka Safron fathers name Bazyli,born 1903-03-01.Returned to Poland.

WBH.sygn.Kolekcja akt żołnierzy polskich powracających z PSZ na Zachodzie.

If he was awarded the MCC then in my opinion it will be in the range 12550-12640.-Here will be broadcast for the 3rd Rifle Battalion.
Because this is a sapper, the MCC number will match what Gonzo 500 wrote.
11907:śp st.sap.Słowik Bronisław;
11915:sap.Szumiński Bolesław;3 baon saperów.LZ
11934:st.sap.Solski Kazimierz;
