Story

Wojtek was adopted by Polish soldiers and became part of the 22nd Artillery Supply Company’s wartime identity.

His Monte Cassino ammunition story is preserved with cautious wording around tradition and evidence.

Wojtek is archived because his life records animal companionship inside displacement and war.
