Re: 1/Lt R S Dymek

My guess is that he would have been an American or South African.
Could only find a few in the Polish lists but no "R, S".
The US Enlistments have some 30/40 Dymek's but again no "R,S".
Findsgrave gave a Robert Steven But he was 1916 and sadly only lived for one day.

There was a Lt Dymek (USAAF) with the Banff Wing in late 1944.
