Sam, Did you ever learn about the military records you posted an interest in, in the above posted message back in 2004? If you have, I'd be very interested in learning anything that you have learned about them as well.
Not sure why, but I have always been interested in Russia, and its people, as well as Poland(among other places)
I have not a drop of Russian blood, nor Polish Blood, but just a simple interest in learning all I can about them.
