Greetings All,
Took some pictures of my favorite uniform. I didn't post in the 39 uniform section as there is a discussion going on that I didn't want to disrupt.
This one I keep at the office as this is where I spend most of my time and it generates much discussion as people pass through - I get to teach a little Polish history.
This one came from a friend in the U.S. He called one Friday night describing a uniform for sale from a dealer from Krakow. He gave the entire description of the mountain division type, the eagle feather etc, and as the price was decent I had him buy it for me and send it up.
It wasn't until I received it did I put every thing together and discovered that the tunic belonged to the 11th division--one to which my grandfather belonged to in 1939. My grandfather was in the infantry, not artillery, but still the same division and the closest I will probably ever get to owning the type of uniform he would have had.
Mike
