This Soldier's Fortune - Zygmunt Tratkiewicz - Bog

Born and raised in Zwola, in rural Poland, Zygmunt Tratkiewicz was an ordinary young man, conscripted at age 23 to the national military service. When World War II broke out, Zygmunt was faced with trials and adversities that he could not previously have imagined. Fortunately for him, as he fought for his country and spent time as a prisoner of war in Germany, "Lady Luck"was more often than not on his side. From Poland to Daylesford, "This Soldier's Fortune" tells the story of one soldier's triumph, of a battle well fought and a life well lived. Zygmunt Tratkiewicz, born in 1915, now lives in the beautiful town of Daylesford, Victoria, with Gladys, his wife of 62 years. At 94 years old, the proud father, grandfather and great-grandfather is still a keen handyman and avid bowler.
