After his body was exhumed on 13th September 1993, General Sikorski had his Polish flag draped across a fresh coffin and taken to Newark Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene overnight, guarded by members of the RAF Regiment with reversed arms. The next day had a farewell Mass before his return home to Poland to be buried.

During the Second World War there were a number of R.A.F. stations within a few miles of Newark, from many of which operated squadrons of the Polish Air Force. A special plot was set aside in Newark Cemetery.We must not forget the polish Airman and the Commonwealth they fought for freedom against the enemy and didn’t flinch. They fought to the end and then carried on the fight, we should be grateful. We certainly owe them a great deal of credit that they so rightly deserve.

Many links were bonded during Britain’s darkest hour. When Poland was invaded by Germany Polish pilots came to the UK and formed fighter squadrons that would operate during the Battle of Britain. RAF Winthorpe near Newark was established in 1940. It was a satellite station for RAF Swinderby over the border in Lincolnshire. Two Polish air squadrons, 300 and 301, were based at Winthorpe, near Newark, Nottinghamshire.

In 1918, when Poland regained freedom, the crowned White Eagle became once again the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Poland. Before the 2nd world war it had two officially accepted forms – the one from 1919 and the other from 1927 (the latter designed by Professor Zygmunt Kamiñski). Apart from the official designs, several stylistic forms of the White Eagle were in use at that time.
After the defeat in 1939 and during the German and Soviet occupation of the country the White Eagle, as Poland’s coat of arms, was strictly forbidden. Once again it became the symbol of fight for free Poland. It was used by the underground army at home and by the regular Polish army abroad. The left-oriented armed forces, however, as well as the Polish army created in the Soviet Union, adopted the White Eagle without the crown. And such became the official Coat of Arms of Poland after 1945. Removing the crown from above the Eagle’s head meant a change of the State’s political system, from now on based on the principle of “people’s democracy.”
That form of the White Eagle, though officially used till the end of 1989, was not commonly accepted by the Polish nation, so much attached to their previous, centuries-old national emblem.

Over the course of years many copies of various reports coming from the British National Archives passed through my hands. Since several of them are already posted on various sites of the “Polish Squadrons Remembered”, I thought that it might be a good idea to help the visitors to read some of them by gathering them in one place.
For a time being I post several samples of combat reports, evasion reports, parts of unit’s Operational Record Books (ORB) and others. As combat reports usually give only dry facts, evasion reports often tell a story that arouses instant interest. Appendix ‘A’ (censored record) of the latter, recorded the experience of the airman from take-off till such time as his evasion was ‘handled by an organization’. Appendix ‘B’ covers military intelligence picked up by the airman while evading. Appendix ‘C’ is the best of information sources. It deals in detail with the airman’s experience, describing helpers, giving identities and addresses and covering anything of any intelligence interest to the debriefers at either MI-9 or MI-5. Unfortunately, the Brits have very done a good job with their ‘War Secrets Act’ and as a consequence, Appendix ‘C’s are rare and hard to find. Sometimes squadrons employed clerks with a knack for writing, and some might find theirs entries in ORBs an enjoyable read.
During typing, spelling and punctuation of the entries were left deliberately unchanged.
My warmest thanks to Ann Michalski from Germany for typing No. 307 Squadron reports, what save me a lot of spare time, which I never seem to have enough.

The country that suffered most, was Poland, it had a pre-war Jewish population of around 3.2 million, some 2.9 million of whom were annihilated (88%). Of Europe’sJewish children, alive in 1939, only 11 percent survived the war, an estimated one and a half million being murdered. Of all the Nazi occupied countries in WW II, the percentage of Jews saved in Poland was the smallest. The attitude of the vast majority of the Polish population towards Jews was anti-Semitic, particularly in the eastern areas after the Soviet occupation, surpassed only by their vehemently anti-German hatred. Even some members of the Polish police joined the Nazis in rounding up Jews for deportation to the death camps. It must be said however that around 50,000 Jews were saved by Poles who helped hide them at the risk of their own lives. The ‘Council for Aid to Jews’ provided false Aryan documents and gave refuge to many of the persecuted Jews. Unfortunately, many of these ‘aid workers’ along with their entire families, paid with their lives. As his chosen children were being massacred by themillions he remained silent!. (In all, Poland suffered 4,900,000 dead in World War II about 20 percent of its population)

Newark Cemetery historical research day on families/casualties both in our own Cemetery and potentially others as well. The Friends of Newark Cemetery are investigating the possibility of holding an Cemetery historical research day open day in the Chapel Interpretation Centre Newark at Cemetery. The Chapel has data links that will enable IT kit to be connected into Newark Cemetery own Central records system and obviously the internet as well. We are grateful that Newark Town Council will provide staff to man their records system. We are hoping to encourage family research specialists to be on hand to offer assistance to members of the public. Malcolm Ross from The Commonwealth War Graves Commission {CWGC} will also attend with links into their own data base. We don’t have a definite date yet, we anticipate late March or April 2012. This event will be discussed at The Friends of Newark Cemetery next meeting, to be held at Newark Town Hall in the Pickin Room on Wednesday 4th January 2012. Arrival at 5:30pm for a cuppa meeting will start at 5:45pm.
