Scots will honor general Maczek. They will erect a monument to him in the heart of Edinburgh.

The Edinburgh authorities want the soldiers of Maczek to take part in the unveiling of the monument. Monument will stand on the courtyard of the City Council on the famous Royal Mile. Designed by a Polish artist Bronisław Krzysztof, a bronze sculpture – presenting Maczek sitting on a bench – will be financed from a public collection, which can be supported e.g. through a website www.paypal.me/generalmaczek. Until now, more than half of the required sum has been collected – about 50 thousand out of 85 thousand pounds.  Continue reading “Monument of general Maczek in Edinburgh!”
