SCHEDULE 1EQUIVALENT BRITISH RANKS OF MEMBERS OF THE POLISH FORCES
In relation to the rank of a member of the Polish forces set out in the first column, the equivalent British rank is the rank or status respectively set out in the second column.
Except where otherwise stated, the equivalent British rank is a rank in the British Army, and the equivalent British status is the status equivalent to such a rank.
Members of the Polish Air Force held ranks of the same title and classification as members of the Royal Air Force, and consequently the equivalent British rank of a member of the Polish Air Force is the British Army rank relative to the appropriate Royal Air Force rank.
