I am trying to trace more details in respect of Lt. Stanislaw Slesicki also known as Stach, so far I have found the following: born 29/03/1907 Ciechanow, Warszawa, Poland and died in Arnhem 22/09/1944 Age: 37during Operation Market Garden Gravesite: Arnhem Oosterbeek War Cemetery, Netherlands 34 A 15 P He was first buried in the Roman Catholic Churchyard at Driel.oland Award: Krzyz Walecznych KIA Driel, Holland, Arnhem Service number 4461. He flew to Driel on chalk number 89. I know he had a brother who was killed in Poland but I have no details of names or dates. I am trying to find out more about him and his family and if any photographs of him are available in his uniform. I do have a picture of him in civilian clothes. He is not a relation but he was briefly engaged to my late mother when they met in Glasgow in 1940. The only other information I have is that when he was living in Poland he was a lawyer.

Lt Col Stanislaw Slesicki celebrated his 100th birthday in January of 2013. He did have a brother who was killed in Poland and also worked as a lawyer.

Stanisław Piotr Ślesicki was born on January 18, 1913 in Cierpigorz, in the district of Ciechanów, as the eldest child of five children of Tomasz and Genowefa (nee Jabłonowska). In 1920 his parents moved to Chełmża, where Stanislaw graduated the State Humanities High School.
In the autumn of 1931 he began his studies at the Faculty of Law of the University of Warsaw. He lived then at his cousin Henryk Ślesicki - assistant judge. In 1935 he graduated and received a master's degree in law. In 1936 he was appointed to serve a one-year military service in the 20th Infantry Division (...)
