The Ramblings of a Crusty Old Sailor - Paying Respects to Stan Markut

Pause for a moment and join us in paying our respects to Stan Markut, one of the last Polish Army combat veterans, who died this morning at the age of 100.

In October of 1942, Stan was in Kelso, Scotland. After initial training he was sent to a wheeled driver’s school in December of ’42. There he was familiarized with Ford and Chevrolet vehicles. After that he was again reassigned to armour training initially on Churchill and Valentine tanks.

The Normandy veteran lived and worked in the UK after the war, before emigrating to the USA.

Thank you for your service, Stan.
