Hi,
I have just been in contact with The Polish Institute and Sikorski
Museum in London, UK. They are quite helpful but can't give too many
details away over the phone. All the people I spoke to were Polish
but spoke English (Luckily for me!).
The part that I got the most information from was the Underground
Movement and Study Trust. They confirmed details over the phone but
you have to write in for them to send you documents. It seems, not
surprisingly, most of the documents are in Polish. They do offer to
translate if you ask and the document is small. There is quite a
delay in answering mail since all requests seem to be going through
one person who moves between locations. So patience.... is a virtue!
It seems that the Institute is broken up into 4 different areas:
Polish Institute & Sikorski Museum

For members outside UK you need to dial 0044 20 followed by the two
4 digit numbers not in ().
Hope this is of help to the group.
PS. Can anyone help me translate the documents when I get them? I
can scan then and send when I do.
I also have an extract from my father's Virtuti Militari that I
would like to translate if someone could help.
Regards
Stephen Wierzbicki
