An interesting group that includes the war time service record of a man who went all the way from Seltsy on Oka to Berlin and advanced from corporal (or even private?) to lieutenant.
1.A photograph of him – probably after de-mobilisation in “civilized” uniform jacket with 2 ribbons seen: Cross of Merit and Cross of the Brave/Meritous on the field of Glory medal – the second option seems more likely. It is signed “Janiszewski” on the back and was found between the pages o the Equipment booklet. Probably from some early post-war ID.
2.Medical commission note from 28 August 1943 (probably in Seltsy on Oka) in Russian stating that he is fit for non-formation (rear) service because of health problems (I think I see “myocardiopathy”, but can’t make out the rest. Signed by medical service major, bears the bi-lingual stamp of the command of the 1st Infantry Division named after Tadeusz Kościuszko. By the way, it was written on the back of a registry card torn in half (lack of paper was the problem for all the war period)
3.Capture of Berlin medal doc issued on 23rd February 1946 to him as a lieutenant, signed by colonel Seleckiy (col. Józef Sielecki, commander f the division at that time), has the new stamp of the unit that reads “Polish Army * Red Banner and Order of Kutuzov 1st Infantry Division named after Tadeusz Kościuszko”.
