This article presents an outline of the life and scientific work of Adam Drath. He is a figure barely known to few geologists, and referred to occasionally and marginally during presentations of Polish achievements in Afghanistan or anniversary publications of his university – Mining Academy (now AGH). A. Drath is one of the Poles who reached probably the highest position in foreign service – in 1942 Darth became chief geologist of the Ministry of Mines in the Kingdom of Afghanistan. That is why, in authors' opinion, this character deserves a closer presentation. Despite successes in the represented scientific discipline, his name is not mentioned in encyclopedias or biographical and professional publications, though his scientific achievements are significant.
