O grupie

was a little Syrian Brown Bear cub rescued by Polish soldiers of 22nd. Artillery Supply Company during World War II in British Persia (now Iran) . He thought he was a human, lived in a tent, drank beer, ate cigarettes, wrestled with them, was enroled as a soldier, travelled to Italy, carried supplies during the battle of Monte Cassino, went back with them to Britain after WWII and ended his days in Edinburgh zoo in Scotland.

His story is one of survival against all odds (for those who suffered and survived Soviet terror and fought together, friendship, loyalty, patriotism, the bond between people and an animal, the need to love and be loved
