He was promoted to Lance Corporal in October 2004 and in April 2006 he was cross-posted to within 36 Engineer Regiment, to Support Troop, 20 Field Squadron in Maidstone, Kent. He deployed to Canada in February 2007 – when the winter is in full swing and below -20 degrees centigrade is usual – to construct and upgrade facilities at the British Army Training Unit Suffield (BATUS).

The Royal Australian Air Force Ensign was approved in its current form by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 1981 and proclaimed an Australian Flag by His Excellency the Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia in 1982. This effectively made the Ensign the Battle Ensign of the RAAF. Accordingly the Ensign is always to be treated with the dignity and respect befitting the proud history of the RAAF.

In Flanders Fields

John McCrae

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders Fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders Fields.

All Souls Newark-On-Trent Cemetery We will Remember them. Conflicts of long, long ago will not be forgotten

During the Second World War there were a number of Polish stations within a few miles of Newark, from many of which operated squadrons of the Polish Air Force.

Many Polish Airmen that served both countries married and stayed in the UK and still have families in Newark and across the UK. They are also buried in Newark Cemetery among friends that gave their lives for Freedom, we will not forget the brave Airmen who are go buried in Newark Cemetery. 

411 Polish burials were made since the Second World War, with more Polish Airmen that remained and lived since the War have been added around the outside of the Polish War graves since. A Memorial cross to the Polish airmen buried here was erected in the plot and unveiled on 14th July 1941 by President Raczkiewicz, ex-President of the Polish Republic and head of the war-time Polish Government in London, supported by General Sikorski, Commander in Chief of the Polish Forces and war-time Prime Minister. When both men subsequently died, General Sikorski (aged 62) in 1943 and President Raczkiewicz in 1947, they were buried at the foot of the Polish memorial. General Sikorski’s remains were returned to Poland in 1993, but there is still a Memorial to him at Newark.General Wladyslaw Sikorski

Władysław Eugeniusz Sikorski (May 20, 1881 – July 4, 1943; Polish pronunciation: [vu̯aˈdɨsu̯af ɕiˈkɔrski] (listen)) was a Polish military and political leader. He was born in Tuszów Narodowy a village in the present-day Subcarpathian Voivodeship of south-eastern Poland, which at the time was part of Austria-Hungary, one of Poland’s three partitioners. Prior to World War I, he established and participated in several underground organizations that promoted the cause of Polish independence. He fought with distinction in the Polish Legionsduring World War I, and later in the newly created Polish Army during the Polish-Soviet War (1919 to 1921). In that war he played a prominent role in the decisive Battle of Warsaw, when Soviet forces, expecting an easy final victory, were surprised and routed by the Polish counterattack.

In the early years of the Second Polish Republic, Sikorski held government posts including prime minister (1922 to 1923) and minister of military affairs (1923 to 1924). Following Józef Piłsudski‘s May Coup (1926) and the installation of the Sanacja government, he fell out of favor with the new regime. Up until, and throughout 1939, he remained in the opposition, and wrote several books on the art of warfare and on Polish foreign relations.

During World War II he became Prime Minister of the Polish Government in Exile, Commander-in-Chief of the Polish Armed Forces, and a vigorous advocate of the Polish cause on the diplomatic scene. He supported the reestablishment of diplomatic relations between Poland and the Soviet Union, which had been severed after the Soviet alliance with Germany in the 1939 invasion of Poland. In April 1943, however, Soviet dictatorJoseph Stalin broke off Soviet-Polish diplomatic relations following Sikorski’s request that theInternational Red Cross investigate the Katyń massacre. In July 1943, Sikorski was killed in a plane crash into the sea immediately on takeoff from Gibraltar.

422 Polish airmen are buried during the Second World War, with more Polish Airmen that remained and lived since the War have been added around the outside of the Polish War graves since. A Memorial cross to the Polish airmen buried here was erected in the plot and unveiled on 14th July 1941 by President Raczkiewicz, ex-President of the Polish Republic and head of the war-time Polish Government in London, supported by General Sikorski, Commander in Chief of the Polish Forces and war-time Prime Minister. When both men subsequently died, General Sikorski (aged 62) in 1943 and President Raczkiewicz in 1947, they were buried at the foot of the Polish memorial. General Sikorski’s remains were returned to Poland in 1993, but there is still a Memorial to him at Newark.

Prime Minister of Polish Government in exile during World War Two. In July 1941, he visited Newark to unveil a Memorial Cross dedicated to Polish Serviceman who died fighting alongside the British. He requested should he die while Poland was still occupied that would like to be buried alongside his men in Newark Cemetery.

Died when the plane he was travelling in crashed over Gibraltar 4th July 1943. Whilst returning from visiting Polish soldiers in the Middle East.Thursday 15th July 1943 General Sikorski body was taken to the former Holy Trinity RC Church on Parliament Street, Newark for an Requiem Mass. His boby stayed overnight.

General Sikorski was buried at Newark Cemetery 16th July, 1943. His body was returned to Poland when it was a free Country  14th September 1993.

War veterans and civic dignitaries attended a service on Sunday to honour the Polish servicemen who died during the second world war. Lighting of candles were lit on each of the Polish graves at Newark Cemetery during the service, conducted in both Polish and English, to mark All Souls Day.

Around 100 people at the service were Polish war veterans wearing their uniforms and medals, who proceeded through the cemetery from London Road to the Polish war memorial, carrying their standards.
