Recently came across a KEW doc referencing the Polish Technical Training Section at No. 5 Advanced Base Workshop at Al Mussaiyib Iraq where 950 Polish mechanics & tradesmen from the 2 Polish Armoured Brigade & other 2 Corps units received instruction on AFV repair from Dec 42 to Aug 43. The Polish camp within the garrison was named Sikorski camp. The reference is from the 5 Advanced Base Workshop War Diary WO169/12404, an interesting read.

Does anyone have or know of any further information on this Polish Technical Training Section at Al Mussaiyib?
