301 Polish Bomber Squadron, an expatriate unit that fought as part of the Royal Air Force against Nazi Germany.
Z1479 GR-A (the squadron commander's) was shot down by anti-aircraft artillery near Dornumergrode; and he was captured and imprisoned in Stalag Luft III.
He was eventually caught when his escape partner Harry “Wings” Day was betrayed by some French workers the two were in contact with.
He is buried in Poznan Old Garrison Cemetery in Poland, in a British Commonwealth War Grave, next to others who had escaped with him and who had shared his fate.
