He started out as a Polish Dragoon, then after Poland fell he left with the rest of his men to France, fought there and then left to Britain, and in 1944 landed and Normandy and fought all the way to Belgium with his men.
He died after his tank got hit by a enemy Panzer IV outside Ruysselede Belgium.
The only real hero of my family ;-;
Im also told in my family lore I have a ancestor who was a polish winged hussar. But I don't know how credible that is.

A major problem here I don’t speak Spanish

The earliest member of that family that gets a mention is someone back in the 11th or 12th century, I think, and then there's a knight who apparently accompanied Edward the Black Prince over to Spain, and was in his personal retinue. As for my dad's side, just a sept of an old Scottish clan. My grandad on my dad's side was a messenger for the RAF in WW2, can't exactly remember what my great-grandad did, but I know he was member of the Soviet Communist party. Also apparently some ancestors on that line who stole sheep (might've been cattle, can't remember), or something like that. Also possibly related to the Barons of Straloch.
As for my DNA, it seems to be scattered across the British Isles. Along with 1.1% from South Central Asia.
