Help identifying medals Polish 8th army / English 8th army (part one)
« on: Saturday 06 August 22 09:55 BST (UK) »
Hi

Is anyone able to help with identifying the attached medals please?  They belonged to my son-in-law's grandfather.

I will post a second message attaching a photo of the same serviceman's badges.

We know that he came originally from Lubichowo and that he later fought in the battle of Monte Cassino. 

Any information gratefully received.
