Western Europe

 

From Wikipedia: During the Polish-Bolshevik War, on May 16, 1919 Lutsk was taken over by the forces of Poland's Blue Army after a heavy battle with the Red Army. The city was devastated and largely depopulated. It witnessed the Soviet counter-offensive of 1920 and was taken in 12 July 1920. It was recaptured by Poland's 45th Rifles regiment and field artillery on September 15, 1920.[2] According to American sociologist Alexander Gella "the Polish victory [over the Red Army] had gained twenty years of independence not only for Poland, but at least for an entire central part of Europe.[3] Łuck was designated by the newly-reborn nation of Poland as the capital of the Wołyń Voivodeship.

 

Immigration to Canada
1927

 

In 1927 Joseph departed from Bordeaux, France, aboard the ship La Bouronnais. On Apr 24 that year the ship arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Lynn: My grandmother (Bernice) was pregnant with my mother (Rose) on the ship ... She was almost turned away at Immigration because she was sick, couldn't speak English... but, a nun who spoke Polish told the immigration officials that my grandmother was pregnant... that's why she was sick).

After their arrival in Canada (1927) Joseph and his family travelled west to Manitoba where they settled in or near Mulvihill (see map below) where daughter Rose was born.
