<dc:title>Lieutenant J&amp;oacute;zef Stainisław Kosacki (West Sands)</dc:title>
<dc:description>In September 1941 the British Army launched a competition to develop a landmine detector. Hearing of this competition, and of a fatal accident on a beach in nearby Arbroath where a Polish Army patrol was killed by a landmine, Kosacki set out to design such a detector.
 
Kosacki used his previous experience designing a device capable of detecting unexploded ordnance to help him in his challenge.  He and his assistant produced prototypes, which they tested on West Sands. Only 3 months after he started, Kosacki’s design was submitted to the British Army for consideration. The design weighed only 14kg and was operated by a single person; it triumphed in the competition, beating six other British designs. The device was used extensively throughout the rest of the war and saved countless lives.
