Re: Polish WW2 medals.
Appears to be a right mixed bag, there's UK decorations & Polish along with regimental badges & dog tags.
First one: Polish Army medal, 1939-45 Star UK - Cassino Cross (battle of Monte Casino Italy 1944), Defence medal UK, War medal 1939-45 UK, Cross of valour 1920.

Re: Polish WW2 medals.
As to the other bits & pieces Insignia (chest) Polish 3rd Carpathian rifle Division, the same but probably as a collar dog, Cap badge of the free Polish Army in UK, the last appears to infer Mountain troops (unit/trained) due to the "Edelweiss" emblem.

Re: Polish WW2 medals.
This looks like one of your father in law's (top left in first picture) but it's a rare version so yours may not be worth as much.

Re: Polish WW2 medals.
We have one just like that with the same inscription, but I don't know if it is one of the rare ones.

Re: Polish WW2 medals.
Thank you very much to all who have contributed. We have been able to find out more about my wife's father. It helps a lot when you know what you are looking for.
