Re: british/polish medals
Great looking set Mikey. Guess he went up through Italy and into France including Monte Casino! Poor sod goes back to Poland and is sent to Siberia, hope he survived. Like the look of the Polish medals makes ours look a bit tame.

Re: british/polish medals
actually the polish medals (compared to the english) are rather insubstantial but do have fine detail - should have taken close ups really! Ludwik K did in fact settle in buckinghamsire after the war and this frame is for his family.
