1/6
Description
Polish Armed Forces Battledress of Sergeant J. Grzelki, Soldier of the 5th Kresowa Infantry Division
The jacket comes from the famous collection of the late Laskowski from Kołobrzeg. The uniform includes documentation in the form of two inventory numbers: "KS2212 Sergeant 5KDP" and "KS2212 8.09.99 Środa" — likely the date it was acquired for the collection, as well as a note with the following content:
“Dear Mr. Wincenty, Attached are the agreed items. All insignia are in the left inner pocket of the sergeant’s jacket. This uniform belonged to Sergeant J. Grzelki. I will try to find out more about this person. Please call to confirm if the package arrived undamaged. Phone XXX, Best regards, Sylwia and Cezary J.”
The Battle Dress P37 jacket is single-breasted, fastened with four buttons and a clasp at the bottom, with the opening on the left side. The collar has the characteristic pointed stitching with infantry-colored collar flaps (navy blue with yellow piping). On both shoulders, below the shoulder seam, there are red recognition signs with the inscription "POLAND." The left shoulder bears the 5th Kresowa Infantry Division insignia, and below that, on the right shoulder, there is the British 8th Army insignia. The shoulder straps are for the rank of sergeant. The collar flaps were likely added later.
Above the left pocket, there are the following awards: Cross of Merit with Swords (swords missing), Military Medal, Monte Cassino Cross, 1939-45 Star, Italy Star, British Defence Medal, and British War Medal. The award bar is made of plastic (some parts are missing).
Condition: As shown in the pictures.
