Sergeants Eugeniusz Szaposznikow, Stanisław Karubin and Kazimierz Wünsche

Polish Sergeants Eugeniusz Szaposznikow, Stanisław Karubin and Kazimierz Wünsche of No. 303 sqn share a joke next to a Hurricane at RAF Leconfield during the Battle of Britain, 24 October 1940. Wünsche had only rejoined them the previous day having been injured whilst bailing out only a month prior.

    I have 7 Autographs from my mother in law’s Autograph book with 7 polish names from 1941. She was a girl of about 11 years and her parents ran a sweet shop called Margaret’s in Hull.
    I am looking for a good home for them and some translations. Can you recommend where they could go to be on display somewhere.
    They Include STANISLAW KARUBIN and Eugenjust Szaposznikow and several others that are difficult to make out. I would be grateful of any help
