Ian_Kel Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I tried to pick up this badge at auction recently but my bids were blown away, I didn't realise they were so well collected. A pocket badge of the 1st Polish Rifle Brigade, raised in my home town of Biggar, Lanarkshire, 1940, the badge made by Kirkwood & Sons, Edinburgh. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_Kel Posted September 29, 2023 Author Share Posted September 29, 2023 A search on the internet leads you to some nice period photographs of the Polish troops taken when stationed in and around Biggar, a few here which shows a parade down the (not much changed) High Street, a podium set up opposite John Lambie's ironmonger shop (it's now a charity shop) at which General Wladyslaw Sikorski took the salute. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
