I was planning to put back the general's picture which I had replaced with the brigade patch. It's back now, but thanks Halibut for putting the pic back first, I changed it back to the original General's pic which is more 'action' oriented! :-) Pkmink 14:13, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)
The 1st Independent Polish Parachute Brigade did not wear the diving eagle as a patch. It was issued in metal form for qualifying as a paratrooper, and the wreath was added for jumping into a battle situation or for jumping behind enemy lines with the Cichociemni. Regards .. Gary J. .. Son of a Polish Paratrooper - Arnhem Veteran
Halibutt, I'm only trying to point out that the "znak" - "Odznaka Spadochronowa" was not and has never been classed as a patch. "A patch" .. is made of cloth. Also, the "Odznaka Spadochronowa" graphic you have is of a later communist issue and not a WW2 combat issue. During WW2 when the badge was counter issued after a mission with the combat wreath, it is then not classed as and "Ordinary Parachute Badge", but as a "Field issue" ... For futher clarification I refer you to "Historia Polskiego Znaku Spadochronowego" authored by the late J.J.Lorys of the Sikorski Institute in London. Regards Gary J.
Ekhm. Strenght of the unit (size, etc.) would be quite useful. Also I'd love to see discussion of why the unit was not used in the Warsaw Uprising.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 01:56, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
There are two versions of the image. One of bad quallity claiming that it are Polish soldiers; one high quallity claiming that they are British troops. The image is also in the book A Bridge Too Far and there it is claimed to be of two british soldiers. It could be that the image is out of place here.
Since the Polish and the British troops wore virtually identical uniforms it is not possible to determine whether the soldiers are Polish of British.
The original photo is in the Polish_Institute_and_Sikorski_Museum and was taken by a Polish Photographer. It is part of a series of 15 photos around Hotel Hartenstein. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.89.16.63 ( talk) 15:50, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Image:Poles Arnhem.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The image Image:Cichociemni malpi gaj.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

Why is the word "exoneration" used as a section title? They did nothing wrong, so for what would they need exoneration? I am changing it to "Post-war honours" CMarshall ( talk) 11:52, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi folks. I'm afraid to say that as someone noted above, an image on this page is almost certainly out of place. Whilst I've been doing some work I've noticed there a 2 versions of the same image floating around. One is here and the other here. I'm fairly sure the second (ie. British caption) image is correct, and this would seem to back it up. Does anyone mind if I remove the image on this page (I'm going to raise the issue at wikicommons too) Cheers, Ranger Steve ( talk) 10:25, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
This article does NOT have a proper "order of battle" nor a proper "Table of Order and Equipment" for the 1st Polish, even though it claims both. This article is bullshit. Sosabowski is one of my ancestors. Get it right, or stop trying, (and failing)! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.71.141.93 ( talk) 03:59, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
