"Mr Lech Zondek, a Polish Australian, went to Afghanistan to fight alongside their Soviet oppressors, and after a year there in July 1985 was found dead near the city of Norristan. On 7 December 1985 a memorial service at the Polish Marian Shrine in Essendon was attended by approximately 1000 people respresenting both the Afghan and Polish communities in Melbourne." These details were provided by the Polish Museum & Archives in Australia Inc. and can be located at the Polish Page on VicNet:

I would be very interested to hear from anyone who may be able to shed more light on the activities abroad of this local hero... and contrast Mr Zondek's treatment to that of David Hicks, another Aussie with a mission in Afghanistan!

Look mr Frank Blues, it's nice to hear that - we'll get you soon. We, Polish people are proud that our brother run from Poland in 1981 to Australia to continue fight with Russian soviets in Afghanistan. After his death on the battlefield last Polish President of undergound goverment in London(Yes, because of you sold us in Teheran in 1943 we had underground goverment for almost 40 years after the 2nd WW when soviets ruled us), gave him very very important medal of honour.
