THE POLISH NAVY IN BRITAIN, 1939-1947 - Sailor on the left is a survivor from another Polish destroyer, ORP Grom, sunk on 4 May 1940 by a Heinkel He 111 in the Rombaken fjord during the Narvik Campaign. Pet cats Żaba (Frog) and Tygrys (Tiger) being encouraged to make friends with a stowaway, which must have escaped from an oiler, on board the Polish Navy destroyer ORP Piorun (Thunderbolt). The Poles make a great fuss of their pets for they hold it as an ill omen if cats voluntarily leave the ship before she sails.
