- Stanisław Sylwester Alfonzy Grodyński (baptized Stanisław Sylwester Alfonzy Kusionowicz; 4 November 1898 – 27 August 1971) was a Polish military intelligence officer, lawyer and politician. On 7 September 1906 Stanisław's father, Andrzej Kusionowicz Grodyński, a circuit judge in Polish Silesia, changed the family surname from Kusionowicz to Grodyński, following the same actions previously undertaken by his brothers Józef and Władysław. At the age of seventeen Grodyński was conscripted into the Austrian Army and during World War I (WWI), while serving in Italy, he was wounded with grenade shrapnel. Following the war he graduated from law studies and after assignment with the Polish Ministry of Interior he received appointments as "starost" (governor) of different provinces\cities across Poland which at the time were within politically and militarily important territories, including those now governed by Belarus and Ukraine. When World War II (WWII) hostilities broke out and Germany invaded Poland, Grodyński was the Governor of Grudziądz strategically close to the Prussian border. Following the Battle of Grudziądz the Polish Forces were compelled to retreat and Grodyński was evacuated to Lwów (previously Lemberg now Lviv) where he and his family were subsequently 'arrested' and exiled by the invading Russian Military to a forced labour camp (Gulag) in Eastern Siberia. Surviving the harsh conditions there he was released to join the Polish Armed Forces and served in the command of the independent Polish Division of the Eighth Army in North Africa and at Monte Cassino, his significant role confirmed with his promotion to Captain on 12 June 1946 by Brigadier General Nikodem Sulik. Following the war Grodyński settled along with his re-united family in London and undertook various 'day jobs' while 'unofficially' assisting Poland's exiled leaders in striving to restore Poland's independence. In a book written by his first son, collating the diaries and records of his family, the life story of Stanisław is featured as the leader of "The Grodyński Brigade". (en)
