Re: [www.Kresy-Siberia.org] Dulab cemetery in Tehran
Hi there,
thanks for your link. Last summer I went to Tehran, in order to visit the Dulab cemetery, and look for the grave of my greatgrandfather As many eastern Polish people, my grandfather??Julian Demidowicz
born in 1920, in Bereza, near Brest (now Belarus), was sent to a gulag
near Archangel by the Soviets.
Then, he got the opportunity to fight for Poland in
the Anders Army in the italian front, where in Verona (my city), he met
my grandmother, married her and then moved to Argentina till the mid of the 80s. ? His father,?Wladyslaw Demidowicz, deported too to a
gulag, was then moved to Iran too, where unluckly he died, and where he
was supposed to be buried (my grandfather was sure he was buried
there, because a friend from the same village said him that he saw Wladyslaw dieing with his own eyes).? During this summer, to complete my research about this
"odissey", I had the opportunity to visit Dulab Cemetery in Tehran. ? Unluckly, with my greatest surprise, I can't found the grave I was looking for. ? I was looking for my greatgrandfather, Wladislaw Demidowicz, born in Bereza in 1900 and died in 1942 or '43 by typhous in Tehran. I checked all the Dulab tombstones, helped with a nice iranian cimitery keeper, and then contact the polish embassy in Iran. There is no trace about my relative in all the Polish cemeteries in Iran. ? I would like to know if you can help me, or if you can suggest me some resources to find the truth. Thanks again for your precious help, my grandfather is 92 and still alive, and i would like to say him where is own father is really buried. marco |

The Italian campaign
According to Wikipedia, "During the Italian Campaign the Polish II Corps lost 11,379 men. Among them were 2,301 killed in action, 8,543 wounded in action and 535 missing in action."
Is that possible? It amounts to a quarter of the men General Anders brought out of Russia--or was the "Army" reinforced after Monte Cassino? The Wiki article on Monte Cassino says that the Polish 2nd Corps numbered "about forty thousand." Since the Anders Army of 1942 included airmen, sailors, Jews who remained in Palestine, and no doubt others who dropped out over the next two years, I suppose there HAD to be reinforcements, to keep the numbers almost the same. Probably some of the men who escaped into Romania in September 1939 and who made their way south instead of east? Incidentally, rummaging around in Wikie produced this evocative photo of the cemetery at Pahlevi / Bandar Anzali: - Dan Ford US |
