Daddy, what d’ya leave behind for me?
How old is the photo?
He was in Podhale Rifles, a mountain infantry unit of the Polish Army.

Things found inside bibles could fuel reddit for years…
Your dad seems like a goober, in the best way

Seriously though, that’s a nice family find! Scan it, and keep the original safe.
Quite recently I found a picture of my great-granddad too! It was while emptying out my Grandmas attic (after she died), and it was actually the first time my Dad had seen his Granddad. We didn’t quite expect the SS uniform though.

Did a little cleanup job on this photo for fun. 1 is just photoshop dust cleanup, the other is Topaz Photo AI upscaled. Thanks for sharing a cool photo!
He looks like ha has a secret he’s just dying to tell.
He was in Podhale Rifles (Strzelcy podhalańscy). That’s actually the only division of Polish army using non-standard uniforms (their hat and cape), these have their own Ministry of Defense equipment standard numbers just for this one unit.

My Great Uncle passed before my Grandma. His picture was in my Grandma’s bible too.
Polish People’s Army!
The AK and the Bible aren’t a common cocktail! A high-faith eastern bloc country like Poland during the late Cold War maybe?
