Frequently asked questions
How do I search for a person?
The person search form (last name, first name, category, war, unit, rank, date of death…) is being connected to the database; its results and each person’s detailed profile will be available soon. In the meantime, the women and men honoured are presented in the “The women and men” section, and places of remembrance on the “Places of remembrance” page.
What does the search cover?
It covers the people honoured on this site — soldiers, prisoners of war, civilians and figures linked to the French presence in Poland — gathered in the “The women and men” section. It does not replace the major national archive databases.
I am looking for a relative, a soldier or a prisoner. What should I do?
Start with the search above. If you cannot find it, contact the association through the Contact page, giving the name, the dates and the presumed place: we guide families and researchers towards the appropriate sources and can pass on certain requests.
Are the archives and documents available online?
The digitisation and online publication of archives and documents are being prepared. This section will grow gradually (registers, photographs, sources). In the meantime, the place and person profiles cite their sources.
May I submit a document, a photo or a testimony?
Yes. The association gladly collects documents, photographs and testimonies relating to the French presence in Poland. Contact us through the Contact page; every contribution helps to document a place or a life.
