About The Panowski Family
Henry Philibert Panowski was born in Lublin (in what is now Poland) in about
1838.
As a youth he was at College when the Crimea war was raging (Britain and
Russia). The Polish were angry at that time, being very oppressed by the
Russians, so Henry with 3 or 4 other students decided to try and get to
Constantinople (Istanbul) Turkey to join the British Forces, which after much
endeavour they did - Henry was wounded and while in hospital, came into contact
with Florence Nightingale.
He came back to England with the British troops and stayed as a Naturalised
Englishman.
