ANTONI PARADOWSKI
« on: Tuesday 07 July 20 12:09 BST (UK) »
This is a former Polish airman and what I know about him:

Antoni Paradowski
Service No 784203.
Born on 4th June 1919
At Kostograj, Płock, Poland
Died on 30th August 2011
At Toronto, Ontario, Canada
British rank: Warrant Officer
Polish rank: St. sierżant
Trade: Air Gunner
Served with 304 Squadron
Medals awarded 2 x Krzyz Walecznych (Cross of Valour), 3 x Medal Lotniczy

I would like to add him to my tribute site for the men of 304 Squadron and I am trying to trace his family for their help.  This should not be too difficult as I know he died in Toronto only 9 years ago.  Can anybody help please?

Thank you for this information.  He was a very brave man and might still have family in the area so I will keep looking

Thankyou for your contributions.  If I can make contact with a member of his family, I can make tremendous progress with placing him on my memorial site.

I want to thank each and everyone of you that have looked into and/or researched anything my grandfather did as a soldier. The stories he told me have stuck with me and will last a lifetime.

My grandfather was a very stoic individual and didn’t like to talk about the war, but when he did tell me about his experiences it made me rethink all the first world problems I’ve ever had. This man saw his entire family be wiped out by Nazi germany and still managed to escape into North Africa and join the polish division of the RAF
