Hello everybody... Im in with an extreme rarity and oddity this time. This is my first attempt at a ship build since 1993. I will be building IBG’s excellent 1/700 scale kit. This ship has a personal connection to me as an Uncle of mine served on her during the war. Edwin Wojtas was 16 years old in 1940 when he crossed into Canada illegally and joined the Polish Navy in Exile. The Polish navy operated as part of the Royal Navy during the war. After his training he was assigned as a Fire control-man on board the Kujawiak. He sailed on multiple convoys as escort, he went to the USSR many times, Egypt, across the Atlantic, and on his final escort to Malta in June 1942. The Kujawiak was sunk in June of 1942 on her way to Malta. He survived and was transferred to the U.S.Navy in 1943. I will add more as I go through his photo’s but here are two. I will also try yo add some of his orders that I still have. Does anyone know how to add a watermark to photo’s so they cant be copied and used by others ? Id like to share but some of them may be one off’s and Id like to retain ownership. Dennis- 33 replies
