    Is anyone out there conversant enough with Polish ranks and units to translate the following entries on Polish Long Service Medal documents:

    1. Robotnikowi fizycznemu ze Skladynicy Mat. Int. Nr. 13 w Bialymstokn

    2. Pracownikowi kontraktowemu w Polskim Monopolu Tytoniowym

    While I can wade through several languages, this one eludes me entirely.

    Thanks,

    Jeff Floyd

    An educated GUESS:

    1. Warehouse worker in Supply Warehouse #13 (Bialystok, Poland)

    2. Contract Laborer in Polish (?)

    1. Robotnikowi fizycznemu ze Skladnicy Mat. Int. Nr. 13 w Bialymstoku

    Manual laborer in Materials [________] Warehouse No. 13 in Bialystok. I'm not sure about the Int. - there are very few Polish words that begin with "int" and few seem right in context. If intendance is a loan word from French, it might be "materials disbursement" warehouse, which would make Dudeman's "supply" pretty much accurate. By the way, the "l" in Skladnica and Bialystok should have a line through it, but this website or my computer won't show the right letter.

    2. Pracownikowi kontraktowemu w Polskim Monopolu Tytoniowym

    Contract worker in the Polish Tobacco Monopoly.

    By the way, both occupation names are in the dative case, so they are the indirect object of some verb you didn't quote. In the nominative, they would be robotnik fizyczny and pracownik kontraktowy.
