Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Yes.
Mr. Jenner. Your mother is deceased. Did you live with your father during this period?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Yes.
Mr. Jenner. Now——
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Very close relationship I had with my father.
Mr. Jenner. Now, did you then leave Poland?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. No. Then I tried to—I did not like the country very much, Poland. We became Polish citizens, but I didn't particularly feel at home there. I learned the language. But it didn't feel like home. And I decided to go to study in Belgium, and asked for permission to go to Belgium, and the Polish Government refused me the permission because I was close to the military age. So I volunteered for the Polish Army.
Mr. Jenner. Now, I would like to go into that. Go right ahead.
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. I volunteered for the Polish Army and chose the cavalry and was sent to the military academy in Grudziondz. Well, it was a famous military academy in Poland where the Polish nobility displayed their ability to ride horseback. And I was able to get to it because I volunteered—I was 18 years old. I graduated from there.
Mr. Jenner. Excuse me. May I ask you this; Would it have been possible for any young man your age at that time, let's say, if I may use a reference, peasant, which you were not, to have volunteered for the same position or division in the Polish Army?
