Hi, I have collected my Granddad's British war medals and believe I can no longer collect the Polish war medals. However I have obtained, a good copy of a cross of monte cassino and now want a 'Polish Army Medal'. I know I can get hold of one but I have been asked would it be bronze,silver or gold, and I have no idea of what it should be. My Granddad was a Corporal and was in active service from September '38-finally discharged November 1948. This info is from the M.O.D. not sure what other info would be needed to help determine. I'd be extremely grateful for any information you could provide me with. Thanks, in advance.

I ask because I did a literal translation and that came up as a medal only instigated in 1999 which is alegedly for forgeigners in the Polish army or Historians writing about Poland!?!......
