In 1944 belgian girl got polish medal for cooperation with 1st Polish Armoured Division. What was her name and what medal she got?

[Tobiasz]

Question was too difficult. 17 years old girl Simone Brugge got polish Krzyż Walecznych (I think it can be translated as "Cross of Valour") for guiding polish troops during fight in town Roulers.
Next question:Who sunk polish submarine "Jastrząb"?

ORP "Jastrząb" was sunk by Norway Navy destroyer HNoMS "St Albans" and British minesweeper HMS "Seagull". It happened on 2th May 1942.

The next question is completely different. It isn't connected to the weapon or other device but to the cavalry soldiers free time live.
The question is - what is "żurawiejka" ?
