Well tony, you are being funny, you see i posted it in the wrong forum. Obviously .

My father came from Wasaw. He was in the cavalry before being captured trying to enter Lithuania. I believe he is 18 or 19 in this photo.

can anyone help me identify this uniform. It was pre 1939

could this be a military acedemy uniform?

This was my father before the war. Can anyone identify it please?

I had more hope for this site. I quess with only 5 or 6 visitors, I was wrong

Thanks Greg, This album, A history of Monte Cassino, belonged to my father who passed away 25 years ago. As I am getting older, I feel his memory should be kept alive somewhere. I still have a lot of his military papers and medals.

Thank you Greg, I'm afraid you are right about this stuff sitting in a museum. I sent you 8 photos to choose from. My father was tank commander after being released from the russians. He never talked much about his time in the war.

I'd like to learn more about him.

If I were you and you really don't need "money" for the album, you could think about donating the album to the Polish War Museum or the Sikorski Museum where the album would be treasured by people like myself. also adding history to the Museums Polish collection and of course leave your Father's mark at the Museum forever. I know if my children don't show interest in my Father's medals,f amily history or whatever, that's what I'll be doing. I would hate to think if I passed them onto family (greedy family at that) and they showed no interest in them, then sold them for monetary reasons or throw them in the rubbish bin. I would be HORRIFIED! Sometimes people like yourself sell these precious family memorabilia thinking they are going to someone who really love them, but then they go to dealers who onsell them for money only and so the cycle starts. Where do they eventually end up?

This is only my opinion of course. Hope you get to upload some of this album, I'd love to see a little of it's contents.

I cannot seem to upload any pics. I have a Mac. I would like to donate album, officers holster, tank goggles and medals to a place where they will be appreciated.

Hi,

Thanks for posting. Glad to see another poster with an interest in Polish history. As far as your question RE: the album. Your description is a little vague. Is it a professionally bound album or is it a personal photo album. Value will be affected depending on which type. If you have pictures you can post them here and I'll do my best to give you an estimate of value. If you're looking to sell it I can also suggest the best avenue to do so and get the maximum return.

Thanks,

Greg

Hi Greg,

This is a professionaly made album. I tried to upload a picture, but , could not. I will be happy to send you pics by private email. As for selling, I'm not sure. It cantains a picture of my dad

Gentleman, I have an album commemorating, I believe, the Battle of Monte Cassino. My father was there. I believe in armour. I do not speak Polish. I do not know what to do with this album , as I am getting older, and I don't believe it will be as cherished by my child. I am looking for suggestions. Thank You P.S. I can't seem to upload a picture. The inside 1st page:
