Poland wasn't an independent country after annexantion in XVIII C by Prussia,Russia and Austro-Hungarian Empire.This place,where Frank lived was under Russian occupation and the life conditions there were bad and poor,with rests of feadual system,so there was no justice for normal men.

He left Poland in 1910 year and he came from Europe(Antwerpen,Belgium) to the USA( New York) first time in February 1910 but due to a missunderstanding caused by unhonest job provider ,he was sent back to Belgium.He went to Germany because of job and was working 3 year in Bremen in Germany from where he emmigrated to the USA in 1913 year again.

He joined the US Army in May 1917(ww1,because he wanted to fight for the USA where he found better life and for independent Poland.He served in US 7th Infantry Regiment 3rd Division Company M and was a hero and a brave soldier.Frank came with another soldiers to France in May 1918,he took a part in France in the battle of Belleau Wood(June 1918),battle of Château-Thierry on July 15th 1918.Frank was severely wounded on July 23th 1918 in battle between Château-Thierry and Le Charmel where his company was crossed by German troops on a farm but they defended their place with bravery.He died of wounds on next day-July 24th in a field hospital in La Ferte sous Jouarre on July 24th 1918.He died as a soldier for the USA and independent Poland,his sould went to our God and Creator for eternal prize in Heaven.

Greatgrandpa of me and my brother.He loved nature and animals,was a nice,calm,well-mannered,honest,creative man,with sence of humour.A great christian and Polish patriot.For family and Friends he has been a model of catholic faith, courage, true love,friendship,loyalty and all another human virtues and wisdom.
