In January/February 1942, the redeployment of the Polish Armed Forces in the USSR (General Anders' Army) from the Soviet Russian republics to the Central Asian republics took place. A headquarters was located in Jangijul. A small military cemetery was created in the local Orthodox cemetery, where 40 Polish soldiers who died in the Soviet military hospital for Polish soldiers in Ak-Altyn and in the garrison hospital were laid to rest. Due to the liquidation of the cemetery in the 1990s, the only commemoration of the Polish burials is now a monument erected by the local authorities on the grounds of the motor base. According to local officials, the exhumed remains of soldiers were placed behind the monument. In 2001. The Council for the Protection of Remembrance of Struggle and Martyrdom renewed the existing memorial, topped it with a granite block with an eagle bas-relief and placed two plaques on the monument - on the front with a general inscription and on the side with 40 names. The general inscription (in two languages - Polish and Uzbek) reads: "SPOCZYWAJĄJĄ / POLACY / 40 ŻOŁNIERZY / ARMIA POLSKIEJ / NA WSCHODZIE / GEN. WŁ. ANDERS / AND CIVILIANS / FORMER PRISONERS / OF THE SOVIET GULAGS / WHO DIED IN 1942. / ON THEIR WAY TO THEIR HOMELAND / HONOUR THEIR MEMORY". At the entrance to the cemetery there are plaques about the care of the cemetery, which is financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage after the liquidation of the OPWiM Council: "POLISH / WAR CEMETERY / JANGIJUL / UNDER THE CARE / OF THE MINISTRY OF CULTURE AND NATIONAL HERITAGE / REBUILT IN 2001 / BY THE EFFORTS OF THE COUNCIL FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE MEMORY / OF FIGHTS AND MARTYRDOM". The Ministry of Culture is also conducting research work to establish a census of civilians buried in cemeteries in Central Asia.
