Her tribute song to General Władysław Sikorski [1881 – 1943] Prime Minister of the Polish Government and Commander-in-Chief of the Polish Armed Forces 7th November 1939 – 4th July 1943, was inspired by the statue of General Sikorski, Portland Place London W1 and the Embassy of the Republic of Poland.
