Unique photographic images, amassed over a period from pre-war to post-war years, which document the military and civilian life of family members.

Thought-provoking testaments to members of the Graff family, their friends, colleagues, and acquaintances, spanning the Second World War to early post-war years.

Personal letters sent and received during WWII, including handwritten letters between Graff family members held in Nazi POW and forced labour camps, as well as letters received from military authorities and organisations.

Original military service documents, along with civilian documents from various authorities in Poland, Hungary, Germany, France, Italy, Persia and Great Britain, issued to Graff family members during a period beginning in 1936.

Books, publications and other printed material in both Polish and English languages about the role of Polish Armed Forces and Polish/British relations during the Second World War and post-war years, as well as handwritten chronicles and diaries. See some examples.
Photographs, diaries, publications, music manuscripts and original recordings of the Polish Army Choir whose first public performance in Scotland in 1940 received outstanding reviews, and who quickly went on to perform in the largest concert venues throughout Britain, including the Royal Albert Hall and St. Paul's Cathedral, raising funds for the Polish Red Cross and other war relief.
