A Trip Back in Time-Polish 2nd Armaments Museum and Repository

News got out that Walter was in Lublin. Funny it is a small big place. The staff and Directors invited Walter to the museum whenever he could make it. This is the Lublin Polish Army Museum where there are operational Army vehicles and artillery. These are all from the Second World War and they were part of the Anders Army.

The purpose of the Center is remembrance and to provide educational services for the youth to learn about Polish military actions. Specifically this one is about the Polish 2nd Corp.


At 11 AM we had a vehicle escort to the Center. A quite fantastic place and all of it is to honour the Army of Wladyslaw Anders. so you can imagine the thrill the gentlemen there had to have an actual Combatant of the Battle of Monte Cassino. He had a interview style discussion which they were able to film and they had a very long and nice visit where they soaked up every word and story from Walter. He retold some standard jokes so they were beyond happy.


Let these pictures do the talking. Invitations were flying so we had to make a gracious exit while we could exit and it was possible. They were the nicest people and we will see them again.

We had a nice lunch at Josef's place. Walter paid for the delicious meal of potato pancakes by reading poetry for Krysia and Josef. A very nice way to end our visit to Lublin. Tomorrow we head to Miedrzec
