Europe / Re: My Grandparents (Drozdowski) Poland - can anyone read Polish?
« on: Saturday 29 July 17 07:16 BST (UK)  »
We live in north London.
I have no idea what dad knows. He said that he lost contact with Wladislaw soon after the war.
He married my mum (also shipped out of Lwow but to Kazakhstan by the Soviets) in Scotland after the war in 1946 and they pretty quickly ended up in London where my dad studied architecture.
I remember that there were a number of Poles in Nottingham after the war and I had an aunt we used to visit there in the 1950s.

Hi
My father was shipped off to Siberia from Lwow in 1940 and eventually became part of the Anders army, fighting his way up with fellow Poles through Italy (including, of course, Monte Cassino). He is now 96 and still pretty clear in his mind.
I showed him your post today and he remembers a Wladyslaw Drozdowski extremely well and spoke of him with a good deal of respect.
He would be happy to have a chat with you and to share his memories of the Wladislaw he knew.
