My father and grandmother were great admirers of Pilsudski and belonged to a Pilsudski organisation in the UK, which supported the Pilsudski Institute in London.? As a child living in Marcinkance, Nr Grodno,?my dad never forgot the day a train carrying Pilsudski stopped briefly at the station and dad was amongst the crowd?cheering him.??Pilsudski's gaze locked with my dad's for a brief second and dad never forgot that special moment.? Dad always had pictures and busts of Pilsudski in his favourite corner of the house, which my mum called his museum.
