A bit of a twist: I have found this in the IPN database:
Biuletyn Informacji Publicznej Instytutu Pamięci Narodowej
So, it means, that he worked with the UB from 1948 to 1954 as a guard and a courier. It also explains why no info is given on who issued the order giving him the rank of corporal - he got it from the UB, not any army-related authorities. I wander if this also explains other gaps in his service booklet.
His award, however, pre-dates his UB service, so it seems to be indeed for the mine-sweeping operations.
