Tag #107974 - Interview #78167 (henryk prajs)

Military service lasted two years and mine was to finish in 1939, so instead of going home I went to war. I fought in the September campaign [24]. On 14th September I was wounded in a battle with the Germans at Olszewo [near Bransk and Lapy, in the Bialystok district]. There's still a memorial room there with a photo of me, among other things, and a description of the battle. I was messed up by a shrapnel, had a couple of wounds. I was unfit to fight on, so I was assigned to the regimental train [service column].
