An unknown woman leaves flowers at the grave of F/Lt Stefan Kryński at Newark.
The IWGC committed to honour the Allied war dead as it did those of Britain and the Commonwealth, and designed the wooden crosses in consultation with the Polish Services.

A beautiful wartime Polish book has come onto the market, with an inscription by the author.

A group of students wants to film a scene - presumably with them going "Pew! Pew! Nerrrrr!"

A report from the first quarter of the 19th century observed the westward migration of Polish families into German villages:
