Grave of Polish Army soldiers killed in the Polish-Bolshevik war commemorated with a cross

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 middle of the necropolis and contains the remains of thirteen Polish soldiers exhumed from the neighbouring villages on 2 November 1924. Only two of them are known - 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. Devotions are held at it twice a year. Unfortunately, for some time the grave was systematically devastated by "unknown perpetrators". The inscription on the cross reads: "Fraternal 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 Col. Tadeusz Krząstek.
