PS. Great find Jerry !


.

I was aware that large numbers of Polish troops including officers served with the British forces during WW2. I even have the paperwork of some of them in my collection. What threw me was the reference to "Polish boys", which seems to indicate that they were not trained soldiers.

I am wondering if many of them were Jewish which might explain why they were making for Palestine.
