Hi Robert,

No thats not the one I found this one which as the Airborne Eagle which was the combat jump badge for the Polish Parachute Brigade... Also Robert he was born 23.7.14 so that would make him 30 at Arnhem I wonder if he did jump into that battle...

Cheers

Even better, I was thrilled to meet a veteran of the 1st Polish Armoured Division, L/Cpl Stanislaw Jeziorni who fought at Prinsenhage at the Liberation of Breda when my Mother was there. He served in the 2nd Polish Armoured Regiment of the 10th Polish Armoured Brigade. I asked if I could meet and thank him in person. He got very excited at my story and gave me a great big hug. This is a picture of us both.


You're right. That must have been far more than rewarding.
Congratulations.

Levien.

I got 18 photos of RA, plus the ones on the wall of remembrance.

Was that Polish chap on the website I mentioned. If not, Send the guy his headstone photo and ask if he can tell you more. He's very helpful.

Cheers - Robert

 

Hi Robert,

Can you list them for me I might have 1 or 2 you missed...

Cheers

Here are photos of the memorial to the men of the Polish 1st Armoured Division and the civilians who were killed during the Liberation of Baarle in 1944.

I'm not sure whether it is in Baarle Nassau (Netherlands) or Baarle Hertog (Belgium). Confused? Baarle Hertog (Belgium consist of 22 seperate enclaves within Dutch Territory (Baarle Nassau). Step from one side of the street to the other and you go from Dutch to Belgium Territory.

Some things are cheaper in Belgium, so it's a busy place at the weekend.

 

Does anyone have any requests for headstone photos in these places.
