I can shine some light on a few medals and the area

1939/45 Star IT is the medal awarded to all soldiers serving within the British Armed forces on the Italian Campaign.


The place of abode looks like Karlowicze powiat(district) Rogatyn, Polesie, Poland

I'll see what I can find out about the remainder

Hello People:
??? I've been a member of this group for a few months and I never had a chance to post a message, due to Christmas and moving, getting hooked up to the internet again, my brand new computer was laid to rest, the hard drive died, and the list goes on.
??? First I just like to thank the people who thought up the idea of this web site, my father who passed away this year would have been very proud that we think enough of our fore fathers, that we do not let their memories die.
??? When my father passed away he left his medals and some personal papers to me, I was fortunate enough that a lot of his original papers are intacted. I was hoping that someone out there could help me with some of the information on my fathers' Certificate of Demobilization, it is hard to understand the writing, it was issued in "Predappio Italy on Oct. 15, 1946." I cannot find that name on the map.? I have only four of his medals, on the same certificate on part 14 under decorations they are listed as follows,"Br.K.Z.zM., K.M.C., G.W.1939/45., G.IT., B.C.M.S., C.MONTE CAS., The 1939/45 STAR, IT STAR." In part 18 and 19 it states that he was demobilized from the Polish Forces abroad on Nov. 13 1946 and transfered to Service Territorial. I'm getting a little ahead of myself, the questions I was asking, what are the medals that are listed and what was "Service Territorial"? And finally my dads' place of birth is listed as "Karlowicze pawii Rohiczyn waj: Polesie Polska" and to top it off I cannot find that on the map.
??? Looking back and trying to imagin what my father went through by being deported to Siberia and fighting with the British, one would think that coming to Canada would be his first real taste of living in a free country, I thought so, until I ran across a wallet size docuement with my dads name on it ,? it reads "Department of Labour Canada. This is to certify that Polish Veteran Leon Bancarz has discharged the undertaking made with the Government of Canada to remain in specified employment for a fixed period of time upon admission to Canada. Dated Aug.22/49. Its signed by the minister of Labour and the Deputy Minister, I remember that my dad told me one time that he had to work on a farm in Quebec for two years in order to stay in Canada, my mother had to work on a farm also she also had no choice, but in her case she was deported to Germany, from Poland. So if anyone out there can help me? Thank you.
