Early life

He was born on February 27 1913 in Bieliny Kapitulne, at the foot of the Lysa Gora mountain. Sabbat completed secondary school in Mielec, and studied Law at the Warsaw University shortly before the World War II. He was a Scout, and remained dedicated to the concept of Scouting, even in his later life while in exile.

War Time

After a short service in the Navy he was directed to the Mechanised Brigade of Stanisław Maczek. Wounded during the Polish retreat, he managed to reach Great Britain where he was directed to the General Staff as officer responsible for youth.

Post war

After being discharged from the army in 1948, he started up his own business in England. He later worked for the Scouting Organization and the Association of Polish Veterans on a gratuitous basis.

As an executive of the National Union he managed the Treasury Division, and later became the President of the Union of the Government of Poland in exile. He attempted to unite the various émigré circles. After the expiration of his term of office, he wanted to pass his responsibilities to a possible successor in Poland. He died in London, aged 76.
