Steven Andreyechen Napisano 13 Styczeń Napisano 13 Styczeń Apologies for writing in English but I do not understand Polish. Unfortunately that’s become a research roadblock when trying to find more information about my Great grandfather William Andreyechen (Wasyl Andrijeszyn, Василь Андріяшин among many other spellings) (Jan 24, 1902- Jul 10, 1981) (born in the village of Liski near Kolomyja, in what was then Poland to a Hutsul Ukrainian family, immigrated to Canada in 1928). I have included of him in the polish army, more specifically the 3 kompania karabinów maszynowych 70 pulk piechoty. (He is centre in the three person portait and second row from bottom, third from right in the group photo) the building in the background matches a few other photos I’ve seen posted in this thread. Hopefully these photos are helpful for others who may be also doing research. Also included are letters he wrote while in the army, I’ve had them translated for me and from those I got a very brief timeline of service (from my understanding he served from October 1924-January 1926 with three months leave from January to March of 1926). That’s as far as I’ve been able to explore of his life during this period, oral histories from relatives has been very spotty and contradictory, which is to be expected with second hand information being recalled 50 plus years later. Unfortunately I’m far too young to have met him myself. Admittedly it’s quite a lot of information but if anyone can give some details about his group or Pleszew in general during this period it would be greatly appreciated. Likewise if there are any other resources you could recommend, databases, books etc, I would likewise be very happy to recieve those too. Anything that will help my research. best regards, steven Cytuj
