Summary/Abstract: The study examines the linguistic manifestations of intercultural communication in English language learning materials addressed to Polish soldiers on the British Isles during World War II. The aim of the analyses is to describe the linguistic and cultural content and to indicate their functionalisation. The conducted analyses allow us to state that the cultural content serves not only to enrich communicative competences, but also to maintain the national and community identity among Polish soldiers.
