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

Hi cwaver,

Now I`m by no means an expert, but I don`t think he served in the British army if that helps any?

Sorry ignore my last post, didn`t see the Polish bit.

Definitely an enlisted soldier from the Polish 2nd Republic - between the wars.

It looks like a tinted photo. The color on his czapka refers to his branch. Red is for military police (or medical personnel depending on the shade).

(Red is the usual color for artillery - however, in Polish tradition, artillery color is green.)

Hi Claude,

As the photo is a little blurry it is hard for me to make out the details. Can you confirm that the color of the collar badges is yellow, red stripe, and white? If not then please clarify the color and I will get you all the information you need.

Thanks,

Greg

I appreciate this is a new member and I do not wish to be rude - however, this uniform should be on the Polish sub-forum. Not under British Medals.

Could a Moderator transfer both posts ?
