Wojtek was an inspiration to the Polish soldiers who had been released from deportation to Siberia, separated from their families and unable to know if their loved ones were still alive. The solders sat down on the quayside refusing to embark at the Port of Alexandria when the British officers refused to allow him on board. So Wojtek was inducted into the Polish Army with a serial number and the rank of Private before sailing to Italy! This video is a super synopsis of his life.
