Hello Wadowicznic,
Many thanks for your post, I have seen this Officer in various photographs in a number of Books,
1) Allied Forces in Italy by Guido Rosignoli
2) General Anders by the PISM
But they do not name him, so back to basics to search for the Name of this Porucznik
Attachment 1128564
General Broni Kazimierz Sosnkowski awarding the Silver Cross Virtuti Militari to ?
I have found 4 officers awarded the VM from the Commando Company also awarded the Monte Cassino Cross they are as follows:
1)Ppor. sp. Adam Bachleda VM Nr: 11236
2)Por. Andrzej Czynski VM Nr 8532
3) Ppor. sp. Stanisław Pałach VM 10289
4) Ppor. Wiktor Rzemieniecki VM 10232
Perhaps one of the other Forum members can help identify this officer for us.
Best wishes
I believe that to be Ppor Wiktor Rzemieniecki, VM 10232. He was only Officer decorated with VM 5th class that day. There was posthumous award of VM 5th Class to Ppor Palach , And Ppor Bachleda. Also Major Smrokowski was decorated VM 4th Class that day. I am referring to date 7/31/1944, and 8/3 1944. Also Corporal Braulinski was given his VM and KW x 2 posthumously.
