Hi everyone,
I have checked through my records and I have found the following Plutowny's serving in 1st Armoured Division awarded the British Military Medal:
1) Plut. Wojciech Fec, awarded 1946
2) Plut. Tadeusz Ferber, awarded 1945
3) Plut. Leon Gacyk, awarded 1946
4) Plut. Wladyslaw Iwaszczuk, awarded 1946
5) Plut. Tomasz Lysakowski, awarded 1946
6) Plut. Jan Rozum, awarded 1946
7) Plut. Stefan Strzyzewski, awarded 1946
8) Plut. Jozef Terlecki, awarded 1946.
None of the above named Franciszek, but I did find the following:
9) St.Strz. Franciszek Ciezak, awarded 1946.
10) St.Sierz. Franciszek Lenczowski, awarded 1946.
11) Sierz. Franciszek Olden, awarded 1945.
12) Kapral. Franciszek Turowski, awarded 1946.
If I was a betting man, I would say that Numbers: 11 & 12 seem the best possibilities to me.
Anyway I hope that the above is of some assistance and if it is not the Military Medal Ribbon, please accept my apologies for wasting your time.
Best wishes
Andrzejku

Nice photo's.
Good point. I did initially think the reason might be the date of the photo being 22 June 1946 and the Polish Resettlement Corps.
I believe that the PRC agreement allowed for the formation of a quasi-military structure in which Polish uniforms could still be worn with rank insignia, Eagle cap badge but not the formal unit insignia in order that the PRC could not be seen as a continuing military force of the de-recognised Polish government-in-exile or a "mercenary" army of the British as described by the Soviets and the then recognised Polish communist government in Warsaw.
BUT I don't think recruitmentment to PRC began until September 1946 although formation of the PRC was announced in May that year.
