Hi
I read your fathers story and found it very interesting.

Please welcome Mark to the group. His father Walek Jaworski and his family
came from Chylin, nr Stolin in Polesie. They were transported to the
Russian camps, Vitunino, near Archangel - Released and traveled to Persia.
Walek joined the 8th Army where he fought in the battle of Monte Casino.
He is still alive at 85 and has just been awarded the Knights Cross Order
of Merit of the Republic of Poland.
Attached is Walek's story from The Wiltshire Times which makes very
interesting reading.
Mark has lots of information about the family history and he says he will
share this with us.
Also Mark says that Walek's neighbour and best friend from Poland was
Telesfor Sobierajski who has drawn many pictures of their travels and wrote
the book Red Snow.
I look forward to reading your posts Mark. I see there is a Walerian
Jaworski from Polesie on The Wall Of Names of the K-SVM who had written a
school essay in 1942 about deportation.

Kind regards
