Abstract
Abstract In 1941, the Polish government-in-exile, in conjunction with the Canadian government, created a training camp for Polish nationals and Polish Americans in Owen Sound, Ontario. The Tadeusz Kościuszko Polish Armed Unit was meant to train thousands of men to help free Europe from tyranny. However, the camp failed to recruit as many individuals as expected and closed by spring of 1942. Despite this military disappointment, the camp was a socio-cultural success. The residents of Owen Sound welcomed the Polish men into their homes and churches. Some men returned to take root in the city and married locals. Those who did not return remained in the hearts of the citizens.
