Guest Posted 10 December , 2005 Share Posted 10 December , 2005 From the BBC: UK's 'oldest' man dies, aged 111 A Polish army veteran - thought to have been Britain's oldest man - has died at a nursing home in Cumbria. Jerzy Pajaczkowski-Dydynski - known as George - who was 111, lived in Sedbergh until ill-health forced a move to a nursing home in Grange over Sands. The former colonel was born in what is now the Ukraine, but was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in 1894.

2ndCMR Posted 24 December , 2005 Share Posted 24 December , 2005 And the Soviets murdered 11,500 like him at Katyn alone. Between the Germans and the Russians, it's a wonder the Poles exist at all. Quite a people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
