Without her permission, I would note that the OH was OC Admin at Northolt in the 80s [as a couple of people here know]. As such, amongst other random duties [such as VIP Greeting in the South Side Dispersal], she was deeply involved with the annual "Gathering of Elderly Polish Gentlemen" at the Polish War Memorial by the A40.
She related the encounters as, in essence, "Lovely old gentlemen, deeply moved and motivated, who also insisted on giving me flowers". I never had the opportunity to chaperone her on those occasions, or even join the pi$$-up in the Bar
Bless you guys/gals [who are left, and who have gone] from Poland and the other 'destroyed Nations' under Hitler and Stalin, who joined the common cause for freedom and democracy.
