Polish and other foreign soldiers conscripted into the Russian Army. One year after the Soviets had become allies, Roman was still requesting and waiting to be released to join the Polish Army. That never happened and so he escaped and located Anders' Army in Guzar. Photograph taken in Stanica Leprozorsk, a lepers' village in the Kuban, Northern Caucasus, USSR. November 7, 1941 Back from left: Wacek Wasowicz, Zbyszek Gerulski, Roman Skulski, Genek Rodzaj, unknown. Middle centre: Jan Przyborowski Far right: Mike Pietrasz
