Platoon Leader Ignacy Mentlewicz, 7th Infantry Regiment, Polish Army In The East
A group of two documents to Ignacy Mentlewicz - during the War an NCO in the 7th infantry regiment, 3rd Infantry Division of the Polish Army in the East, who was wounded in Kołobrzeg on March 12th 1945.
This is another group partly researched thanks to Alojzy Sroga's "Na Drodze Stał Kołobrzeg". First we have his 1946-dated VoG booklet issued by the Infantry Officer School nr 1 (in Russian apparently called "1st Officer School of the Infantry and Cavalery of the Polish Army". Document signed by the head of the officer school. Gives his rank as "Plutonowy" (morethan a corporal, less than a sgt.,theoreticaly fit to lead a platoon). Than we have a 1970-dated Cross of the Brave booklet (almost certainly a catch-up award), giving his rank as Lt. colonel - so apparently he has finished the school. Altough I was unable to locate anz photograph of the man, Sroga gives his short biografical data at the end of his book: "Mentlewicz Ignacy, son of Wincenty (1922), corporal, 7inf. rgt. Soldier of the Feliks Zarożny's company, his participation in repelling a German counterattack was described in a special leaflet printed by the political-educational section of the regiment. Awarded bronze "Meritous on the field of Glory" medal [if I were to guess - for that counterattack repelling]. After the war sent to the officer school. His later fate unknown to the author." |
