Destroyed TKS

Heavy guns given by the U.S.S.R. to the First Polish Tadeusz Kosciusko Division moving up in support of Polish Infantry.  In April 1942 there were three Polish divisions in Russia, three in Persia, and one in  Libya in addition to the Polish forces in Great Britain.  General Sikorski stated in August 1942 that the Polish Army was the fifth largest of the Allied armies.  It included two armoured and motorized corps-one with the army in Britain, and one in the middle east.  The Polish air force was then twice as strong as at the outbreak of war and the Polish navy was also greater-a third greater, it was announced in February 1943.
