RIP, a true hero.

Quote:
Commanding a battalion of the 1st Polish Grenadier Guards, he was then involved in supporting the disintegrating French army in Lorraine, on one occasion going, with fixed bayonets, to the aid of a hard-pressed French unit; his actions were recognised by the Croix de Guerre with silver star. While covering his regiment's retreat, he found himself cut off by the Germans, but managed to evade capture.
