I would like the beginning translated so I know for sure what happened to 4. Cuch Julian. I’m unsure if he was promoted or demoted in rank. Thank you |

| While marcelproust is fluent in Polish, and a very experienced translator, which I am not, I will still stick my neck out here and suggest an alternative to the phrase he used, "in the field of organization of social life." The wikipedia article on the Polish Cross of Merit uses these words: "awarded to citizens who went beyond the call of duty in their work for the country and society as a whole." To English speakers, I think that the words "social life" seem a bit too light, like a party or entertainment, whereas the words "work for society" are more serious in tone, befitting the highest honor that a civilian could receive.
Hope this is helpful, Sophia |
