Hello Apssbc,
Many thanks for your post, I wrote to the Polish Ambassador asking for address and contact details back in 2002, I then posted off a letter and after about 5-6 weeks received a 42 page photocopy of a service record.
I doubt you would receive that amount of paper work, but it is well worth a try and once you have them you could ask someone to translate them, and then there is always the internet to translate.
I will leave that decision up to you Apssbc.
Best wishes
Andrzej
Your grandfather was not a military professional service, only the service of the essential, mandatory.
So I don't think it would be anything in military archives.
I searched for parishes and municipal offices
btw. eagle from photos is strange- probably type orzel wz.49 'kapusta"
Orzel wz.49 kapusta,Was worn from 1949 to 1952
Last photo: probably Fire Brigade, specific belts and coveralls, and "orzeł' on cap
sorry for next post, but last one :P
Last photo 100% fire brigade
Cap, belts and water pump- moto pump, probably M-800
Thank you so much for the information everyone. This is very cool to see. I too am a firefighter and he was at my swearing in ceremony. Unfortunately he was too senile to really know what was going on. I will write the ambassador to give it a shot.
