Koło or Kłodawa are towns in central Poland. Grodno used to be a city in eastern Poland, now it is in Belarus. The term Grodno could cover the area of the entire county.

It seems to me that these two names will be: Zych and Wysocki. However, it will be difficult anyway. We miss details such as the region. The term Russian Poland fits half of the territory of Poland. It might be difficult.

I think this name could have sounded like Wysocki.

Wizodski is the male form of the surname, female is Wizodska.
Assuming Lizzie is Elizabeth - Elżbieta in Polish, Ela for short.

The problem is that in Poland there is no such surname as Wizodski or Wizodska. You have to look for a surname that sounds similar.

Hello Jozef. May I ask you a question please?  :)

With Polish surnames are you able to identify a region that people with that surname are likely to have come from?

(This can be done to some extent with English surnames - you can sometimes get a very rough idea where a family originates based on their surname because they are often regional.)

Duneane, have you looked for records of naturalisation (if these exist). Was his wife Polish too?
You can find out by name someone came from in the region only on the basis of databases.

Hi!
Are you sure the name of Zyke is correct? I don't think so. It might have sounded like Zicke. Stanley is the equivalent of the Polish name Stanisław. There are too many unknowns here to help you. Do you have any document where his name is written?

I wrote a message on Facebook on Eagles- Poland- Pakistan.pl - https://www.facebook.com/Ms.A.T.Pietraszek.Mr.FranekGrabowski/posts/in-1947-the-nascent-state-of-pakistan-asked-the-british-air-force-command-for-po/1678551825790663/that I was looking for news about Ludwik. We'll see, maybe someone will answer.
It may be worth writing to the Polish consul in Karachi on this matter. I know that some pilots emigrated to the USA, Australia and Canada after 1950. That would be bad news.
Let's hope we can find something about him.

Jozef
