Plaque commemorating Jozef Stanislaw Kosacki in St Andrews

In St Andrews, Scotland, there is a plaque commemorating Jozef Stanislaw Kosacki. Kosacki was a communications officer in the First Polish Corps, which had just been stationed in St Andrews. In 1937, commissioned by the Artillery Department of the Polish Ministry of Defence, he made a device to detect unexploded ordnance remnants. Kosacki found himself in Scotland in 1940, having been evacuated there from France. After the war, he returned to the country. In Poland, he worked in the development of electronic and nuclear devices. He died in 1990. A commemorative plaque was funded by The St Andrews Preservation Trust.
