Armed Forces Resources / Identify Army uniforms
« on: Sunday 10 September 23 11:51 BST (UK)  »
Hey, Is Anyone able to offer any insight into the British uniforms, This is son and father both probably around 1916 kind of time. But struggling to find confirmed service records for them, both would have stayed in Glasgow area. Not sure if anyone can see any identifying marks that might confirm regiment etc. Chancing my luck but thought would ask.

Many thanks in advance

Europe / My Grandparents (Drozdowski) Poland - can anyone read Polish?
« on: Saturday 22 November 14 12:05 GMT (UK)  »
Hey, thought i would put up a post and hopefully someone can help.

My Grandfathers name was Wladyslaw Drozdowski,
He was born in Berenzo, Kostopol, Luck (Poland) on 5/3/1918
i do believe he escaped from a prisoner of war camp somewhere,
I have letters showing he was in the polish resettlement corps in the Uk, he was based at Camp North, Arrochar, dumbartonshire, scotland.
Former unit was - 5 to D.P 14. B Infantry (written on form not sure what it means) (letters dated 1948)
another form says - Polish armed forces writing says - 38 / III    ULAN (not sure what this means either)
i know he was in monte cassino, egypt, and a few other places while in the army.

going by the information on his marriage certificate to a daisy callaghan in 1954 (glasgow).

his father name was marian drozdowski - Railway Engine Driver
Mother - Maria Drozdowski (Maiden Name - Fiolkowski)

i know he had sisters and brothers but not sure there names.
from writting on back of photos names look like
marian
janusz
antojiu
driecmi
kazimierz

i have been trying ancestry.com, familysearch.org and a few other resources online if anyone else can point me in the right direction to start finding out more about my family as they all got split up during the war.

below is link to some text on photos, trying to get translated atm to find out.
