Hello Artem,
Unfortunately without the Legitymacja there is no way of telling who was awarded the 2nd Corps Badge, there is no master list I enquired at the PISM over 25 years ago.

Hello Artem,
The PISM (Polish Institute and General Sikorski Museum) in London has the list of Recipients of the BKZzM, not sure if they have the Recommendations.

Hi Andrzej,
Thanks. I'll try to contact them concerning this question. I hope in 2nd corps they had the same practice as, for example, in Red Army - each decoration has recommendation where the reason of awarding described.
Hello Artem,
I have just looked through the 4PPanc Regimental History and found your Grandfather Jan listed in the 2nd Squadron and he is listed as being awarded the BKZzM.
Artem, approximately 30 years ago I was at the PISM looking into a St. Sierz. Ludwik Studnirski also awarded the BKZzM, I have just checked the page and guess what ? Your Grandfather is also listed on the same page Number 14, Dated 29th September 1944.
I will scan the page tomorrow for you, send me a private message with your email address and I will send it to you.
Best wishes
Andrzej
Andrzej,
Unbelievable! Thank you so much! I appreciate your help!
