A World War Two veteran from Doncaster finally got the headstone his service deserved. Stanislaw Wadas left his home, family and friends in Poland to join the RAF, after his homeland was invaded in 1940. Former soldier Paul Bristow, who got to know him well over the years, unveiled a headstone at Rose Hill Cemetery, Doncaster, to mark Stanislaw's service today, on Armistice Day.
