With regard to the article (appeal) concerning the completion of the Katyń list (“Dziennik Zachodni” of 29 March 1989), I kindly ask you to send me – or point me to the sources of – information pertaining to Capt. Andrzej Wachowicz, who was interned in September 1939 probably in the POW camp in Kozelsk.
I am a nephew of the above-named and the last surviving close relative, and I would like to obtain as much information as possible – this task, for various reasons, was unattainable for the wife and siblings of Capt. Andrzej Wachowicz.
I am aware that the data provided by me (presented below in the sequence from the article) are far from complete, but this is all I know at the moment.
Captain Andrzej Wachowicz:
| – | son of Cezary and Maria Wachowicz, |
| – | born in 1898 in Jezierna near Biała Cerkiew (USSR), |
| – | last place of residence: Łódź, Srebrzyńska Street 88, |
| – | internment camp: Kozelsk (probably), |
| – | military rank: captain, no. 4775, |
| – | military service: officer in active service, |
| – | military occupational specialty: artillery. |
I attached a photograph of Capt. Andrzej Wachowicz taken shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War and a photograph of him and his wife which he might have had on him (please kindly return them after they are utilized). I don’t have any other information, e.g., camp correspondence.
Sending you my kindest regards, I would like to ask you once again for at least a handful of information that would make it possible for me to learn about the last moments and the fate of Capt. Andrzej Wachowicz. I feel obliged to thank you in advance.
Respectfully yours,
Engineer Andrzej Wachowicz
