"Karpacki" stand for Carpathians. On April 2, 1940, according to the verbal decision of General Sikorski, the formation of the "Carpathian" Riflemen Brigade began in Syria at the French military camp in Homs. Col. Stanisław Kopański was designated as commander. The resulting brigade was given the name Carpathian, because it was intended - as it was imagined at that time - to march to Poland through the Balkans and then through the Carpathians (and the Carpathians run through your country and through my country - that's where Polish troops retreated in 1939). The battalion took over the tradition of that unit and the branch created, which in the division of English troops won Monte Cassino.

IS that some kind of sat nav device they are using?

 

[adicontakt]

It is a Gps device

 

[Conhoon]

Rather an avalanche detector to detect buried people.

 

[adicontakt]

you are the specialist

 

[Conhoon]

I'm not a specialist, I happened to see this equipment. It really looks like a civil GPS.

Jeez I thought the Siberian weather had come to us but it is nowhere near that cold here in the UK. Problem though is that we are not geared up for serious weather so the slightest bit of snow brings us to a halt trains, airports and mostly roads are all affected

Well, we are talking about global warming in Poland... We have not had such a really cold winter for a long time, only the last days have reminded us how it is when there is a bit of frost. I still remember "a little bit colder" winters, and I still ride a bicycle to work.
On the other hand - with us one of the national sayings is "winter has surprised roadmen (roadworkers?)" so this is also a problem for us.
