Gentlemen - thank you kindly for your efforts.

My grand uncle was I believe in the Polish sappers/engineers. The picture was taken in the late 30's or just before WW2, as was the picture in my avatar, being my grandfather. Probably taken where they were from, Stanislawow. I'm unsure if he was in the Legions, but I know he was in the 1920 war and a professional soldier.

I know it's not post WW2 because he fought under the Brits and joined them thereafter. I have seen the original of this photo somewhere so I' ll try dig it out.

BTW - what is KBW and AL?

Herewith my search results:

KBW = Kevin "Bloody" Wilson - an aussie comedian

AL = Weird "AL" Yankovic

I suspect the medal was awarded for fan loyalty!
