"Both General Stanisław Kopański and Lieutenant Colonel Stefan Eichler are epitomes of pre-war Polish officers. Devoted to the cause of a free Poland to the very end, after the war they had to accept the loss of the opportunity to return to their beloved homeland. They settled abroad and were actively involved in the life of Polish emigrant communities. Now, they are returning home," said Minister Jan Dziedziczak.

This is a project carried out by The Foundation Aid to Poles in the East in cooperation with the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, the Ministry of National Defence, and the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in London.
