In his book "Lancer’s Youth 1917-1939" published in 1989, the then 90-year-old General wrote the following about himself:

"I have indeed lived an excessively long life, and in an excessively varied way, if only by participating in six war campaigns, not to mention all the twists and turns of history I have lived through, one of which bestowed upon me an undeserved death sentence, and ultimately five years in prison."

​

He died on May 16, 1991. Every year the Association of the Families of the 1st Polish Armoured Division lit the Candle of Remembrance and laid white-red roses on the General's grave.
