MPX5076778: World War II: Women. Six hundred Polish women have arrived in this country having spent much of their time in Russia, Persia, and Africa after escaping from Poland to join the WAAF. Mothers and daughters together are all keen to serve in this country. Some have spent years in Russia, in Siberia, where they were cutting wood until they were released. Many have harrowing tales to tell and many have fathers and husbands to find in this country or serving with the Polish forces. One Polish airman came to this seaside resort on the off chance and found his wife and daughter whom he had not seen since he left Poland when it was overrun by the Germans. Many of them have to be taught Polish, being peasants they have to be taught to read and write altho they can speak it. Few can speak English.
