Jr Lieutenant Tadeusz Wojnar, Scout Platoon Commander, 1st Light Artillery Regiment

Another group purchesed long ago, and another onepurchesed in portions, yet still incompleate.

The awards shown here are those in my possesion, for sure the "For Warsaw" is missing (it was sold to someone else), Probably also V&F medal and Grunwald Badge are missing, as well as Soviet Awards (he probably got VoG, Liberation of Warsaw and Capture of Berlin), but those were probably never offered. The seller was also selling silver Cross of Virtuti Militari Order which was supposed to be Wojnar's, but no source confirms that he was ever awarded that, also that award's ribbon didn't fitthe rest (was of normal size).

So here we have:
Polonia Restituta Officer's Cross, Bronze "Meritous On The Field Of Glory" medal, "For Oder, Niesse, Baltic Sea" medal and 1st Infantry Division Badge mini.

Here is also the main reason I got interested in this group - an ultra-rare early bilingual ID card that was issued to the soldiers of the first units of the newly-created Polish 1st Infantry Division in 1943. It gives his rank as kanonier (private in artillery - note that russian side says "Enlisted Personnel"). This IDs were used simultanously with "Red Army Booklets" filled-in in Polish untill summer 1944 when new military IDs were issued. Wojnar Probably had his untill January 1945, when he was issued an officer ID (see below)

Re: jr. lt. Tadeusz Wojnar, Reconnaissance platoon commander, 1st Light Art. Regiment

HEre we have his officer ID - he got it when he took an officer post - commander of the reconnaissance platoon of the HQ battallion in January 1945. He was sgt. at that time, but since the function was meant for officers, he got the officer privillages (but notthe salary).

There's no photograph. His name (Wojnar Tadeusz son of Jan) and assignment (1st Light Artillery Regiment, 1st Infantry Division) is given.

His "service state" is given:
artillery sgt. (ogniomistrz)

commander of the reconnaissance platoon of the HQ battalion by the order of the 1st divission's commander of 14 January 1945

sr. sgt. of the artillery (starszy Ogniomistrz) by the order of 22 May 1945

jr. lt/WO by the order of the commander of the Polish Army of 18.08.1945 (his first officer rank)

Re: jr. lt. Tadeusz Wojnar, Reconnaissance platoon commander, 1st Light Art. Regiment

Regulations for using the military ID
The note at the bottom of the page is the confirmation of vaccination from April 1946 which suggests that he was still in the army atthat time.
Russian-language version starts here.

His service position in russian differs a bit:
polish Ogniomistrz translated as starshyi serzhant

St. ogniomistrz as starshina

Chorąży as ml. leytenant.
This is because polish ranks were adjusted to the Soviet system, but the names were kept in proper, not historical order, thus polish sierżant was already starshyi sierzhant in Red Army.

Awards are not listed.
