Finding Lech family from Wisloczek/Canada

I am researching the Lech family. My great grandfather was Grezgorz Lech (son of Wasyl Lech) b. 1901 in Wisloczek and my great grandmother was Nastazzja Wjaiko (daughter of Daniel Bjaiko) b. 1905 in Wisloczek. He served in the Polish Army from 1920-1923. They had two sons in Wisloczek, Stefan and Jon and a daughter Annie born in France before they came to Canada. Grezgorz (his canadian name was Harry) came in 1926, first to Saskatchewan and Annie came in 1927 and they settled in Owl River, Lac La Biche, Alberta. They had more children there and moved to Vancouver BC with some of their children around 1945, leaving the homestead in the care of the older children.

I have not been able to connect the dots in Wisloczek, finding no trace of them other than their immigration ship lists to Canada. I am trying to search Grezgorz's Military records, but have no idea where to begin. Any help would be appreciated.

Wisloczek,

Is a tiny place. In 2006 the population was 160 of which 55 were under 18.
It's about 3km walk from Rudkawka Rymanowska reached via Rzeszów or Tarnów. Some records are kept in Rudkawka Rymanowska, but most would be kept in Krosno.

I've tried searching for a local church where records were kept in the past for those born in Wisłoczek, and have contacted locals to establish for you where records could have been kept or transferred.
