Polish Army War Records
« on: Friday 21 May 21 07:31 BST (UK) »
I am following up on a Polish Army war record - with the help of Google Translate. In one document there is reference to 'Jednostka ewid.' which I think is the army unit and that is 'O.Z.A.'

Can anyone help with what 'O.Z.A.' was, please? Obviously Google Translate isn't much help there!

There are Anglo-Polish societies. Some branches are on Facebook. They may be able to help you translate and explain things.

Thank-you and welcome to RootsChat.
Are you able to explain the other words in the opening post?
