Default 5th Polish Kresowa Division WW2

A group of Polish insignia recently acquired. Fairly complete set to a soldier named Wladyslaw Borowiak, as marked on his ID tag. A few of the badges have Italian makers names to the reverse. The Polish 2d Corps badge is numbered for issue. The silvered Polish eagle cap badge is marked JR Gaunt London. I am going to conjecture that the cloth signs and titles are Italian made also.

I have read that the Monte Cassino Cross can be attributed based on the number however not sure at this time how to go about doing this. This Polish veteran settled in Canada after the war based on some other items that came in the group.
Thanks
Jack
