Many thanks tasmaniensis. That's some very diligent research you've done there. Most interesting of course are his dates. (1892-1941). I wonder how he died?

That's great Lukasz. It sounds very much like he could be the Colonel Ferdinand Silvester who was the Cof S. Well done and thanks very much..

Hi Lukasz,
Thanks for that. Do you know his first name? Looks a bit like Ferdnand or Ferdinand. Is Silvester the correct spelling of his surname and do you happen to have any further biographical info on him?

Hi Elmar
OK thanks very much. You could be right. You're the second person to put that up as a possibility.

Hi Lukasz
Many thanks for the information and identifying this Polish officer. I am most grateful . I wonder what happened to him. Maybe he was one of those executed at Katyn?
Which particular photos would you like to see. I have posted photos from this group in the French Section and Italian Section plus others in Sweden, Estonia, Latvia and Czechslovakia.
Have you seen them Lukasz

Hi Frank
Well thanks very much for trying. I really appreciate it. The second one looks a bit like Papillon but the third one!! The third one seems to have been a Captain (in the army?) and Assistant Military Attache to Warsaw in 1934. The second one looks like a Naval officer and he may have been the Military Attache in 1934. The first one -Captain of Frigate seems to have been the French Naval Attache to Poland and/or Warsaw in 1937 so perhaps the larger countries like France had army, navy and air force military attaches.

HI Ostuf,
Many thanks. I'm sure the frirst name is Liciano but the second name is more difficult. I think he may have been one of the staff at the Italian Embassy in Warsaw because most of the photos in this collection were inscribed to the Italian Military Attache in Warsaw Mario Marazzaniwho served in that capacity from 1933 to 1937.

That's fantastic. Thanks for identifying Colonel Raud. Greatly appreciated. Any idea when or where he was captured by the Russians?

Thank you Kim. There is a Carl Yngve Schroder who was born in 1901 and died in 1985. It seems that this is the same man. I really appreciate your help. If anyone has any additional biographical information I would appreciate it. Thanks again.

Hi Rick. Thank you very much. There were about 30 photos altogether and I managed to identify some myself and others through similar forums but those I have posted here are mainly ones that I cannot decipher the signatures properly or lack any biographical information. I will repost the signatures of some of them so they are easier to read.

Can anyone please help to identify any of these three unidentified French military and assisant military attaches to Poland and/or Warsaw during the mid to late 1930s. Any help much appreciated>
Many thanks

I'm not an expert on uniforms but this photo might, I repeat might, be of a Swedish military attache to Warsaw in 1937. I'm hoping that some of you uniform and medal experts will be able to advise me on just whose army this unidentified officer was serving in. Many thanks

Hi Chris
I bought a batch at an auction last year. You're absolutely right. They are great photos aren't they? Some of them went on to become quite important people in the war.
