Colonel Stanisław Milczynski

[jm01]

Thank you...I've forwarded a request for information...lets see what happens

I may be in Poland next year and will make a point to visit some ministries/archives to see what is available...Apparently they have some of his documents at the Uprising Museum

yes, the second VM was awarded by the government in exile as he was unable to return to Poland until the 60's...something to do with fighting the communists during the war

however, he has now been recognized in Poland, most recently by having a school named after him

I have the certificate # for the second award, but am unable to find it (and the medal)

Still looking for the missing few...
