- Summary:
- 'The Tailor of Inverness' is a story of journeys, of how a boy who grew up on a farm in Galicia (Eastern Poland, now Western Ukraine) came to be a tailor in Inverness. His life spanned most of the 20th century. Taken prisoner by the Soviets in 1939, he was freed in an amnesty in 1941. He then joined the thousands of Poles who travelled to Tehran then Egypt to be integrated into the British Army, and was resettled in Britain in 1948.
