According to A.J. Zawadzki the black cross Skorpion badge #600 appears to belong to Wincenty Zimoch. Not sure who he is but if I get a second match to him using the monte casino badge #020519 then it would be probable the soldier was Zimoch. Then we would try and see what the link is to my dad? Is there anybody that can try and match the second number to a soldier? I've appreciate it.
Henry,
What was your fathers first name ?

Polish Skorpion Badges Detailed Pictures
Here are some better shots of the badges we are trying to identify as to owner. I have explanations for most of the badges from the great people on this site so I know what most of them are for.
Just trying to solve the mystery of how they were in my dads garage for all these years?? We may never know, but they certainly are very cool to look at.
they all have a slightly oily substance on them. The white cloth was black from contact. Probably to stop rust? How do I clean these without ruining them?
Hi Henry,
The Badge Numbered: 020591, is in fact a 2nd Corps Badge, when I was in London at the Sikorski Museum I asked Andrzej Suchcitz if there was a List of recipients of the 2nd Corps Badge, his reply was that there was not a list of individuals awarded the 2nd Corps Badge, worn on the tunic above the medal ribbon bars. So unfortunately I can not help identify the person awarded this.
Best wishes
Andrzejku
