I am seeking some assistance. I am interested in accessing information about the journeys and routes Polish soldiers took escaping from Poland and getting to Beyrouth in 1939/40. Some background. I see from my father's "Fiche de demobilization" that on 20 June 1940 he mobilized in Beyrouth. I know that my father was in Poland on the eve of the outbreak of WW2 and I have some dated pictures and an old recollection that my father had at one stage been arrested by the Germans late in 1939 or early 1940 but had escaped while being taken to prison. He saw in a reflection in a shop window that his single guard was distracted so, being a boxer, knocked him out and made his escape. I have not seen my parents marriage certificate but from a copy of an application paper prepared by my father I see that he married on 31 August 1939 in Jabl~onowo, Poland. I know that I'll probably never know the exact details of his personal journey but that serves me right for not asking while either of my parents were alive. I would also like to know or access a source of information about compulsory military service in the Polish defense forces over the years 1929 to the outbreak of war. I know that my father undertook 12 months of military training atr some army barracks in Rawa Ruska in 1939 as I have found his name mentioned in a book called "Kalosze I Ostrogi". I'm happy to read replies in Polish. Maciej Slugocki Hobart Australia
