Trying to find out information about my father - such as: full name, regiment, unit etc. He was a Private in the Polish Army and was stationed in Tillicoultry,(billeted in Uppermill Street) Clackmannananshire, certainly around the period 1943-44. He was known by the names of Wladek Tadeusz. My mother's name was Mary Leyden,(also known as May). She had the nickname of 'Ginger'-(she had red/auburn hair). She came from Glasgow and worked in the Naafi in Tillicoultry, during the War Years. She made friends with another girl, who also worked in the Naafi - Nan Jeffrey,(she had the nickname of Jeff) and came from Falkirk. At that time, the two of them, along with a third girl, stayed in digs, in the main street in Tillicoltry.
However, when I was born (December 1944), my mother by this time was staying with a lady called Rose Draper, at 23 Greenhead, ALVA.
Although my mother never married the Polish soldier, my mother's friend, Nan Jeffrey told me that my mother had a long standing relationship with him.
I have no idea what happened to him after the War ended.
If these details jog someones memory, or if they know of anybody who might be able to help (no matter how little) please contact me.
