Polish WW2 medals.
Can any members help my wife? She is in possession of her late fathers WW2 medals and uniform badges and is wondering what they are and if they are of any value. Her father was a sergeant in the Polish Army and was stationed at Low Moor in Clitheroe for a while.

Re: Polish WW2 medals.
Pictures may help, plus a time scale where & when did he serve ? Failing that try some of the Militaria sites or shops if there's any local.

Happened a lot during the war I'm sure. Just wondered if there were any Polish relatives you could turn to for help - doesn't sound like it though.

No he had a bad time in the war, he saw two of his brothers shot dead by the germans left to float down the river. All the remaining members of his family are in the States or Poland.
