Hi, I had this idea for a nice little song to honor our troops of the Polish 2nd Corps:- I got it when I was reading "Trail of Hope" and when I got to the chapter about the liberation of Bologna. It is called "Hail to Our Troops!" (Cze?? Naszy Wojska! (?) . Here are the words in English:- Hail to our troops who in triumph advance! Honoured and blessed be our White Eagle! Long may she reign over us and guide us and inspire us and ever lead us to victory! Heaven send her light and warmth, Earth lend her sustenance, Happily to prosper and shine with wisdom, While every regiment cheers again:- "Polonia Dominat et Omnia Vincit!" and the melody is the same as the American tune "Hail to the Chief!" (which actually is an old Anglo-Scottish tune and song) and you can hear a good instrumental version on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxgoajDI1WQ . Perhaps someone here who has good literary Polish (a bit better than my "kitchen Polish"!) could help in translating it into a good singable Polish version. I just wish the old vets were still here to hear us sing their praises, perhaps the Third Republic prefers to forget about them and us but we will never forget them! Cheers! That book is so amazing, I wish it was published 50 years ago when we were teens, I was a bit annoyed at first because it did not have an index but now I realize that it is not a scholarly history book but actually a family album and a work which will always be in progress:- the Second Polish Corps was really a very special extended family and we are the junior members of that family and even though modern Poland prefers to ignore us and forget about us we will never forget! Oh, and btw, on pages 400 and 401 (Chapter 14 "Egypt") in the English version there is a picture of a Polish tank rolling through the desert on a training exercise in 1943 with a very determined young Polish lad standing in the turret projecting an attitude of "Polska Odradzaj?ca!". I'm quite certain that lad is actually my late father, Henryk, aged 16, that picture has fascinated me every day since I first saw it on Mar 19/16 and although the resolution is poor I'm quite certain that is him:- he died 42 years ago in 1974 but I can never forget that expression, it could be so very intimidating to a certain mischievous small child and I can assure you I got a lot of "Polska Odradzaj?ca!" as a small child from my father! However if anyone else also thinks that is their father, please let me know, we really need a higher-resolution picture to positively identify that young lad.

Hello, what do people here think about the takeover of the new Gdansk war museum? There seems to be a lot of opposition to this political manoeuver including by Norman Davies and there was an open letter to the Minister of Defence published in Gazeta Wyborcza and co-signed by the 200+ scholars who helped to plan this new museum opposing this takeover. I also read an article by the mayor of Gdansk, Pawe? Adamowicz, who said that the new PiS government wants to impose the doctrine of the "politics of memory" on this museum which apparently means suppressing anything which does not contribute to their version of political correctness much as the Communists also did. However I honestly do not know what to think but I do know that the Communists wrote us out of Polish history books for 45+ years and I still encounter this ex-Communist amnesia from mainland Poles who come to Toronto and seem to know nothing about the Polish 2nd Corps and often who will insist that we are not "true Poles" but merely foreigners of distant Polish ancestry, which is so very, very irritating. I'm certainly very much against a new attempt by the PiS to similarly write us out of Polish history books if that is really their intention. Your comments on this situation would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Have a Warm, Happy & m -- Tom

Sorry Amos, I am unable to answer that question. Regards, Robert Ostrycharz

Amos, Did you try the Ministry of Defence in the UK? He was in the British 8th army and they keep separate records of the Polish section and has good information on inidividuals. I know my dds records show some time in Palestine which I know little about except it seems to have been some training there. The address is listed in the resource section of this KS site. Mark T.

Dear fellow researchers, I recently came upon a cousin, Leon HELLER, who was in the Polish Forces, with PAIFORCE 551. The date of this document is 8 June 1943. I understand that PAIFORCE was the Persia and Iraq Force. I imagine that Polish forces were attached to it. Can anyone explain what PAIFORCE 551 was? Is there a list of soldiers belonging to it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Amos ZEZMER Yerres, France

Greetings... Perhaps some of us can relate to the topic... so feel free to share with those in the CHICAGO AREA for this MAY 11 event for BOOK EXPO AMERICA -- Book Expo will be highlighting the country of POLAND this year. Should be a fascinating discussion... Don’t miss this fascinating conversation between Agata Tuszyńska, one of Poland’s most admired writers and historians, as she discusses her acclaimed new memoir, Family History of Fear, a wrenching journey in search of memory and identity with Ron Balson, a Chicago litigator, adjunct professor, and author of several novels about World War II including Saving Sophie, Once We Were Brothers, and the forthcoming Karolina’s Twins. They will be joined by author and award-winning journalist Greg Archer, whose latest book, Grace Revealed: A Memoir, chronicles his Polish family’s odyssey surviving Stalin’s wrath during the 1940s. Together they will discuss the memories of a painful chapter still present today and the journey ordinary families in Poland must confront as they come to terms with the the past. Book signing to follow. Participants: Agata Tuszyńska, Ron Balson, and Greg Archer. 57th Street Books - 1301 E 57th St, Chicago, IL 60637 6:30PM MAY 11

Great idea Julian. I was excited until one word came to mind - Russia. Normally, I say soviets, but it is Russia now. The International court told them to give up the information and like usual they thumb their nose at it. Mark T. Canada

I'm currently in Nicosia, Cyprus for a short vacation, unfortunately, I was mugged at the park of the hotel where I stayed. All cash, credit card and mobile phone was stolen from me but luckily, I still have my passport with me. I've been to the Embassy and the Police here but they're not helping issues at all. My flight will be leaving in less than 8-hrs from now but I'm having problems settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager won't let me leave until I settle the bills. I'll need your help with a loan of 2,500 Euros I promise to make the refund once I get back home. Please let me know if you can help and I need you to keep me posted via email because it's the only way I can reach you now. Regards, Teresa
