The small village of Auchertool in Fife, Scotland, close to Kircaldy, provided a military staging camp for newly arrived Polish Forces before their assignments to more permanent camps. Andrzej Grodyński (second from left in photograph with four comrades whose signatures appear on the reverse dated 12 July 1942) underwent introductory military training in nearby St Andrews before being assigned to the Polish Air Force and the RAF Transition Station in Blackpool, England. On completion of his training, Andrzej joined 306 Toruń Combat Squadron in June 1944 as a fighter pilot and was stationed at Brenzett airbase, near Brighton in Kent.
