My name is Artem Suchojda, I’m from Belarus. For several years my father and I looking for information regarding military service of JAN SUCHOJDA (my great-grandfather) during the WW II. The most interesting period for us is his service in 2nd Polish Corps and participation in Italian campaign.
Thanks to help provided by members of War Relics Forum and based on our own researches, I can make the following summary:

Lance corporal JAN SUCHOJDA (born 1910, Army Number: 1910-58-III) served in 2nd Squadron, 4th Armoured Regiment “Skorpion” (Skorpion Breast badge # 528). Took part in Monte Cassino, Ancona and Bologna battles.
Whilst serving with the 4th Armoured Regiment was awarded the BKZzM (Bronze Cross of Merit with Swords) and Monte Cassino cross # 29561. After WW II stayed in Italy (Capua, province of Caserta). In 1973 came back to BSSR where died in 1976.

I kindly ask for your help in searching for information regarding tank crew JAN SUCHOJDA served in. It would be great if I could found out the name of tank as well. As I know, private names of Shermans in 2nd squadron began with “P”. As I understood there is no crew list, but I guess some documents that indicated the moving from one crew to another or from squadron to squadron, for example, should be. It’s hard to believe that soldier was not assigned to exact unit.

Second question is my great-grandfather’s decorations. After his death, Bronze Cross of Merit with Swords and Monte Cassino cross was lost. I’d like to find them. I understand that this is not an easy task, like a needle in a haystack, but miracles happen. BKZzM had no number so I can buy it on ebay, for example, but I need your advice regarding Monte Cassino cross – how to find the original one? Just checking auctions like ebay or allegro from time to time?
Any of your help (advices, information, pictures, contacts, etc.) in regards to the topic abowe is very much needed.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
Artem
