Introduce a remembrance day recognising the Polish war effort during WW2. — 13 signatures. Status: rejected.
I call upon the government to formally create a remembrance day for the war effort of our Polish allies, whose resolve was instrumental to our survival during The Battle of Britain. This would right the wrong of their exclusion from the Victory Parade of 1946 and symbolise our shared history.
We live in an increasingly polarised society where celebrating cross cultural history is more important than ever as an antidote to forgetting our roots. This is a proposal to recognise our allied history and the sacrifices of the Polish Armed Forces and the affectionately nicknamed 'Glamour Boys', otherwise known as Squadron 303, who fought valiantly alongside the British in defending our freedom and theirs. We should honour them this way, while veterans are still alive to see it.
