Records of Milwaukee Post #3 of the Stowarzyszenie Weterano Armii Polskiej, or Polish Army Veterans Association (PAVA). PAVA is an organization of Americans and Canadians who enlisted as volunteers in World War I and II service with the Allied Polish Army in Europe. After each of these wars, the duty of providing and securing financial relief for the disabled veterans fell to the association because these veterans of the Polish Army are not entitled to United States Veteran Administration benefits, and as Americans or Canadians they would not receive assistance from Poland. Post #3 was active in patriotic affairs, the life of the Polish community, and the national organization. Records consist of correspondence, minutes, speeches, newspaper clippings, and convention and anniversary books. English
