Hello Frozzer,

Re your post about Kpr. Zygmunt Zając, Fathers Name was Andrzej, Pre war Regular or Reservist captured on the 18th September 1939 at Złoczów, joined the Anders Army at Tatiszczewo on the 3rd September 1941.

That is all I have found, I hope it is of some use and help to you.

Thank You, The nfathers name will be helpfull. Maybe You can find place of birth or dead ? Did he came back to Poland after war or maybe stay in UK ?
I found one Zbigniew Zając born in 1909 but was a different fathers name...
