A very small and intriguing post-war group. Actually, there's only one award and two docs.
It is to a sapper private, who served from 15th of may 1945 to 20th of September 1947. And even tough he served after the war, he was awarded with the Cross of the Brave - an award rarely given for non-wartime deeds. Since his service booklet gives no info on his activity during the war, he probably got the award for post-war military activities. As the order date is given in the award booklet, we can guess it was given for one of the two categories that were called "Strengthening of the People's Rule". This categories are anti-partisan actions of the immediate post-war era and mine-sweeping actions. Since he is called "sap.[per private]", we may assume he got it for the second category. Because of that, we can also assume that the orderof the Commander in Chief of the Polish army nr 593 from the 26th of June 1946 covered awards for some mine clearing action. His 1951-dated award booklet was crudely repaired with a tape. Since the tape was already falling off and it influenced the paper and since the doc is not falling apart without it, I have decided to remove it. It is probably the only military-related award he ever got. His 1973-dated military service booklet doesn't give much information, while those documents ussually give a lot of useful data. I am afraid the clerk who filled it in was very lazy. |
