The campaign defeat in September 1939 did not undermine the morale of Poles. Poland did not capitulate. The transfer of the State power was done in the form of the Constitution. In Paris Władysław Raczkiewicz was sworn as the President, and General Wladyslaw Sikorski as the Prime Minister of the Government on 30 September 1939. It was mainly in France where the army of 82 thousand soldiers was formed to consist of Land Forces, Air Forces and Navy. 910 soldiers came from England and Scotland. After the fall of France, general Sikorski revalued his views. He intended to create Polish I Corps in Scotland. According to the findings on 19 June the infantry divisions of the Polish Army were directed to the south east region of Glasgow. Soldiers found themselves in camps: in Biggar - III and IV infantry divisions and training centres, in Douglas - X armoured cavalry brigade and Independent Brigade of Podhale Rifles, in Crawford - sappers, communications and anti-tank artillery. Officers' camps in the area were on the island of Bute and Biggar. All officers were from Poland and the officers of the reserve made up half of the personnel. They were recruited mainly from public officials, engineers and doctors. Approximately 20% of them were of peasant origin. (fragment of text)
