Hello Valerie,
Many thanks for your post, I checked the Register without finding Kazimierz Mihułka, but looking at the attached photograph the he is shown wearing the Cross of Valour, Army Medal, Monte Cassino Cross and the Pilgrims Cross.

He came to the UK with his unit and after being demobbed from the Polish Resettlement Corps he lived in Dumfries where he died on the 21st June 1983.
