Grave of Polish Army soldiers killed in September 1939 in battle against the Germans

26.09.1939 r. The 27th lancer regiment from the Novogrudok Cavalry Brigade charged at a German battalion from the 28th Infantry Division. Around 25 uhlans fell. They were buried in a common grave in the cemetery in Moranské. The grave has been preserved to the present day; in the 1960s and 1970s it was looked after by schoolchildren and villagers.

In 2005, a permanent commemoration of this grave was made with funds from the Council for the Protection of Struggle and Martyrdom Remembrance. It is a concrete cross on a simple concrete plinth. The whole is sited on an earthen grave framed by a thick stone kerb. The inscription (in Ukrainian and Polish) reads: "Here rests / 18 soldiers / of the Polish Army / fallen / in battle against the Germans / in September 1939 / Honour their memory!".
