Alfred Delong (1902-1939) – Soldier, Teacher, Fireman, Community Worker

Summary/Abstract: Almost every town has people who have made a special mark in its history. Undoubtedly, Alfred Delong, a teacher, fireman and community worker, was such a person in the case of Kun (the district of Turek). He was the founder of many social organizations in this village - including the fire department. He was the builder of the folk house, which also housed the school. Most of his life was connected with the army and as a soldier he sacrificed his life in the battle of Bzura in September 1939. However, the inhabitants did not forget his merits and made him the patron of the local school. Unfortunately, the full opening of his biography faces obstacles due to the scanty amount of source material. Only the personnel and honour file in the collection of the Central Military Archive in Warsaw-Rembertów that served as the basis for the preparation of this article has survived. Only residual material regarding his work as a teacher and as a firefighter remains.
