In 1950s London, the demobbed Lance Corporal Jozef Mielniczek (Second Polish Corps) met Maura O’Dwyer, who was to be his wife for twenty-six years. He lived a great life, despite many hardships. His love for his family brought him great happiness, and he in turn brought ineffable joy into all our lives. 

Jozef will be laid to rest in Ardmayle Cemetery to fulfil his express wish to be buried next to his beloved wife Maura. Forty years after Maura’s death, husband and wife are united again.
