concerning Jerzy Długoszowski, partisan and militiaman (http://soviet-awards.com/forum/soviet-mi...post136389)
I was prepearing to sell it, when I, browsing all****.pl came across a piece of his legacy. A piece that solves 2 mysteries about him - his (up to now doubtful) relation to pre-war general Bolesław Wieniawa-Długoszowski and why he had a Warsaw Upraising Cross even tough he didn't take part in the Uprising.
So, what I found (and bought) was an award booklet from 1984 - of Warsaw Uprising Cross given posthumously to Andrzej Długoszowski - a Warsaw insurgent who died during the uprising togeather with his brother Marek (both members of the Gray Ranks and both nephews of gen. Wieniawa-Długoszowski). That booklet had a special marking - under the signature of State Council President, there's his name hand-written. Undoubtedly written by Jerzy Długoszowski. It seems that in 1984 he was the closest living relative of the fallen insurgents - that explains why he wears double bar for the Warsaw Up. Cross on some photographs. Also the booklet has the sending address information - was probably send by the post.
It seems that Marek's and Andrzej's Father (also Jerzy) was gen. Wieniawa-Długoszowski's cousin. And he had a brother - Stefan, who was a teacher and father of kpt. Jerzy Długoszowski - "my" militiaman.
Up to now, I thought it was all just his imagination...
