There is a grave of Polish soldiers from 1920 in the cemetery. It is situated almost in the middle of the necropolis. It is situated almost in the centre of the necropolis and contains the remains of 13 Polish soldiers exhumed from the surrounding area on 2.11.1924: Michał Czuba and Józef Gut.

In 1991, thanks to the efforts of the then parish priest Fr Czajka, a tall metal cross was erected on the grave. Twice a year services are held at it. Unfortunately, for some time the grave was systematically devastated by "unknown perpetrators". The inscription on the cross reads: "Brotherly grave of heroes killed for their Homeland in the Polish-Soviet war of 1919-1920 near Ostrog".

In 2004, young people from Krakow restored this grave. Further restoration work took place in 2017, carried out by a group of students from the Study of Eastern Europe at Warsaw University under the direction of Colonel Tadeusz Krząstek.
