On this day in 1939 the Polish submarine ORP Orzeł finally reached the Firth of Forth after an epic escape from invasion & internment. HMS Valorous met her & escorted her in to her new home, Rosyth. Artwork by Colin Maxwell.
So important for us all to try to learn from past lessons learnt!

Honouring those who stood up 80 years ago. Many veterans found refuge in the UK after WWII. We celebrate their contributions to our community.
80 years ago, on 1 August 1944, the Warsaw Rising started. In Poland, we know the price of freedom. How much does it take to stand up for the values you believe in? Look at the heroes of WARSAW🇵🇱 Sound on 🔉 #ThereWasACity🔹warsawrising.eu
A lovely night on the Tay!

I was discussing this earlier - the sheer defiance of playing the hejnał from towers in Scotland and Italy, after the Germans prohibited it from being played in Kraków.
HEJNAŁ! 🎺🇵🇱 Watch from 6.15 - the Hejnał being played from the Corn Exchange tower in Cupar, Scotland. The Poles in occupied Kraków were forbidden from playing the tune by the Germans; the Polish troops continued to play it defiantly in Scotland. iwm.org.uk/collections/it…

Respect!
I stopped by my great-grandmother's grave in Powązki Military cemetery today. Cleaned it up and lit a few candles and placed fresh flowers. She sacrificed her life during the Warsaw Uprising. Any chance I get, I will post about her to keep her memory alive. Zofia Langner ♥️…
Probably sailed from #Rosyth
