I think that these are Polish - but that is way outside of my area of expertise so I cannot comment further, sorry!

I would also suggest Polish. There are Forum members who can be more specific.

Thank you. It would make sense as the Owner was of Polish descent.

Badge/medal on pocket is a pocket badge of the 1st Reconnaissance Regiment, 1st Polish Corps.

From IWM :
"Metal badge featuring a yellow Maltese cross. In the centre of the cross is a white metal, roman helmet with hand painted yellow dots."
