A Pole with Anti-Aircraft Command

[Postwarden]

I recently bought the attached photo of an AA Command gun crew. What interested me was the soldier on the far left who is wearing the sign of AA Command with a Poland title, Polish rank badges on his shoulder strap and an eagle on his helmet.

The picture has an Imperial War Museum photo reference on the back and a check on their site reveals that the photo was taken in March 1944 when Sgt W Stolarski was serving with 71st AA Brigade at Dover.

Has anyone come across other examples of Poles serving in British formations?
