Cemetery with Polish gravestone monuments. Information about the cemetery has been published (see bibliography). According to Anna Lewkowska, Jacek Lewkowski and Wojciech Walczak, on the village road in Pilczuki there is a brick monument with the inscription: "TO THE HEROES FALLEN FOR THEIR HOMELAND IN 1919. FROM THE INHABITANTS OF THE VILLAGES OF PILCZUKI AND ST. GIERNIKI ON 12 MAY 1938". To quote the aforementioned researchers, "this monument was probably created on the initiative of a village teacher from Pilczuki, Leopold Osiński, who in 1938 made a collection of money for this purpose among the inhabitants of the village of Pilczuki and neighbouring Gierniki Stary. It is not known which specific heroes it is dedicated to. In a letter to Głos znad Niemna, Wacław Dzierżyc suggests that it may commemorate the events of 16 January 1919, when in nearby Gurnofel a group of 300 Bolsheviks under the command of a certain Makarczuk from Lida attacked a 17-strong Polish self-defence unit. As a result of a fierce battle, with losses on both sides, six members of the self-defence were killed. Their terribly mutilated bodies, after a solemn funeral mass, were buried in the Szczuczyn cemetery, probably in a special quarters near the eastern fence of the cemetery."
