?Polish 10th Division formed in the USSR:
March 1942:
... I got to a place called Lugowaja. ... There was a rallying point in Lugowaja, where the 10th Division had formed. I was 16 years old then. So I went to see the army commission and I was accepted into the Polish Army ... I was immediately accepted and received a British uniform.
After four weeks, they evacuated us to Krasnowodsk and then further, to Iran.

We came to Krasnowodsk ?[March 27, working backwards from Pahlevi arrival April 1?] by train, straight to the port. Before we were loaded on the ship we were given soup that was very salty because it was made from dried salt fish. But everyone was hungry and there was no selection, so everyone ate what he was given. Before boarding, everyone was also given a crust of black bread and two salt herrings from a barrel. The ship was some kind of tanker, not a passenger ship, where about 4,000 to 5,000 people were packed onto the top deck, one beside another.
It was a beautiful day, at the start, and everyone was ecstatic to at last be escaping that hell. The ship departed about 2 p.m. The sea was very calm, but after awhile there were gentle long waves that you couldn't see, but we could start to feel it. Then fog arrived, and a storm started. Many of the people started to get sick. It turned out that there was no drinking water on the ship. After that salty soup and salted fish, after those herrings, there was no water. It was a tragedy, truly.
The storm was so huge on this sea, the Caspian, that it was literally throwing the ship around. Water was flowing over the deck, where the people were, and several were probably washed overboard without anyone knowing about it. I had to run to the side every so often to be sick. If the ship had tilted and a wave came, I also would have been washed overboard since there was no way I could hold on the the sort of barrier there.
Unfortunately, the ship was damaged during the night, during the storm. The rudder was ripped off or something like that. We drifted on the Caspian Sea for about three days, without water, without anything. I had to endure the sun because there was no kind of shade, so you had to stay out in the sun. By the third day you didn't care if the ship would sink or not, a person was so exhausted. We even tried to haul up some water, from the sea, but that made for an even worse effect. It was not until the fourth day that a different ship drew up and we transferred to it - on the sea, on the very sea.
We arrived at Pahlevi, Iran, on April 1, 1942. We disembarked at the port and had to go a few, I don't know, a few kilometres to get to the camp that the British had set up on the beach, on the Caspian Sea
