Does anyone know of how to research a navy uniform from WW2? I have a photo of my grandfather in (?dress) uniform and I'd like to know more about it. I have tried some sites but to no avail.

Syrena You will find very little on the internet or indead in print on the Polish navy in English.What I can tell you about the uniform of the Polsih Navy is that apart from the National Eagle and Polish Navy(in Polish) or the Ships name written round the cap the uniforms were almost identical to those of the Royal Navy at that time,that goes for "other ranks" and Officers. Try also searching the web for the Polish ship Blyskawic(sp) or lightning.This ship escaped through the baltic along with a handfull of others to fight on and even take part I think in D Day. I think during the war it was based for some time on(well obviously not ON ) the Isle of White and Im sure there is a memorial in the harbour area.
