Hey everyone! New to the boards, but I was recently Google searching my great grandfather, Jozef Dziurgot, and I stumbled across his photo posted here. I just wanted to share my his picture and also a picture of his Monte Cassino cross.
Hello Mferenc,
May I be the first to welcome you to the Forum and thank you for posting your Great Grandfathers photograph and obverse and reverse of his Monte Cassino Cross.
Best wishes
