Further to my post above, I met the Gentleman today who was very interested in the Royal Signals badge. He had served in the Polish Boys camp at Heliopolis which was training boys for trades in the Royal Air Force. He eventually finished up in England at an RAF station doing Aircraft Maintenance. He is an accomplished author and his most recent book (393 pages) concerns the Junaki from their inception in Russia (after the Nazi’s invaded Russia and Polish POW’s were released and offered positions in Polish Regiments in the Russian Army) and through to Iran and finally school/training camps in Egypt and Palestine. Any Polish speaking members of the forum would I’m sure enjoy the exploits of those young Boys and girls who learnt English and a trade in those schools.
The book has a good summary in English but the main text is in Polish.
The Title, were it in English is “ Mlodziez Andreas” or General Anders’ Underage Soldiers 1941-1947, by Henry Radecki. The book has two ISBN numbers,
978-1-927490-13-6. And 978-83-86232-54-3. Regards, D.J.
