Description: Film opens with shots of Newark, Nottinghamshire, "an English country town" enjoying peace "but only because of those men up there" - shots of General Sikorski opening the Polish airmen's cemetery in the town. Film then looks further back: German invasion of Poland; Polish leadership (Sikorski and Paderewski) and armed forces in France, and in England (Sikorski with Churchill, Eden and Polish sailors, airmen and soldiers). Diplomacy: Sikorski with European heads of state; treaty with and visit to USSR; visit to Middle East, Gibraltar... Film ends with return of Sikorski's body, its lying in state and funeral, and burial at the cemetery in Newark.
