Seeking information on my Granddad - A Polish Paratrooper

[vandat]

Tony,

Thank you, I really must learn to double check information lol… I am still looking for another photo with him and " I think" a General so I will post that one when I find it for clarification also.

The MOD have said that they can only provide information on British personnel, however, have gave me another place to try, so hopefully I may get a break there.

Sorry I was asking about the Generals rank, my Granddad is actually the one directly to the right of him so most of his uniform is hidden.

Because the MoD most definitely DOES have Polish service records as the Poles were under British command. I obtained my father's Polish service history from the above which is taken form the MoD official wbsite:
