The Publishing Section of the Polish Army in the East was an important unit of the army responsible for culture and education during World War II in the Middle East. The Polish Army in the East was formed in 1942 on the initiative of Gen. Władysław Sikorski, and its command and support structures were relocated from Iraq to Palestine. School publications such as this one served Polish youth and children evacuated from the USSR, including those who had been evacuated with General Władysław Anders’s Army.
