Mr K. Markowski arrived in New Zealand in 1944 as one of the displaced Polish children. Twenty-five years later he and fellow refugees returned to the camp at Pahīatua where they had spent their early years in New Zealand. Mr Markowski was pictured on that visit holding a photograph of himself as an eleven-year-old boy in 1944. In the old photograph he is the boy on the extreme right.
