Over the past few months I have been trying to find out as much information as possible about my Polish grandfather. His name was Michal Bracio, and he was born in Sliwnica, Krasiczyn, Przemysl on 16th February 1924. In 1942 he was taken from his family to work as forced labour for the Third Reich in Austria. When the war was over he made his way to Italy, where he enlisted in the 3 Rifle Battalion, 3 Carpathian Infantry Division, 2 Polish Corps, 8 British Army on 1st June 1945. He eventually enlisted in the Polish Resettlement Corps (PRC) and served in the UK until he was discharged on 30th March 1949.
My grandfather died in 1988, and as I know very little about his life before and during the war, I recently wrote to RAF Northolt to obtain his military record. This contained some information about his movements after the war, along with basic details about his family background. I know this is a really long shot, but could anyone on this site have served alongside him? If so I would be grateful to hear from you, as I have a number of photos from the period and would like to identify some of the people in them.
