Review Government's approach to redacting Polish Military Records held by MoD

Closed 2,908 signatures

What the petition asks

I think descendants of members of the Polish Forces who fought alongside the UK in World War II, should be able to access UNREDACTED Records of their ancestors who served. I believe that the Government should review how descendants can access this information.
Polish Military Records are a rich, and in most cases the only, resource of family history for the descendants of Polish Soldiers who were unable to go home to Poland after WWII, and had no choice but to settle in Exile. Yet, we believe, that this important family information is now being redacted and withheld from families.
