In commemoration of Remembrance Day there will be a special feature on this blog honouring the Allied forces of World War II, in particular the Polish Armed Forces. Beginning on November 1st, daily posts will summarize some of the major battles of World War II and the role of Polish troops in each battle. So little has ever been said about Poland's sacrifices during the War, less still of her contributions to the Allied war effort. It is a tragedy that Poland, the 4th largest Ally in WW2 has been virtually overlooked by the world.
Each nation honours its own heroes and veterans, and rightly so. But World War Two was fought and won through the collaboration of many Allied nations. Our respect must extend to all our Allies. They are not just a few: Great Britain, United States, Poland, Free France, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, The Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, India, Czechoslovakia, Mexico, Brazil, Ethiopia, Union of South Africa,the Philippine Commonwealth and Yugoslavia.
We owe an enormous debt of gratitude and deepest respect to all men and women of the Allied Armed Forces for their Sacrifices. They fought for our Freedom and that of future generations.
