Period:

Rank:

Podpulkownik (Lieutenant-colonel)

Unit:

Polish Corps Sub Area, HQ, Polish II Corps, Polish Armed Forces in the West

"Since the capture of Ancona on July 18th 1944, Colonel Grzymala-Piątkowski has been the commander of Polish Forces there. Particularly in the early days, in this battered Port, many problems arose for mutual agreement as regards accommodation for troops and hospitals, welfare and discipline. That all difficulties were overcome and the best relationships maintained between all ranks in both armies, was largely due to this officer's whole hearted co-operation. He rendered splendid service to the Allied cause and here, in particular to the British Army."
