In 1918, a branch of the Polish Military Organisation was established in Chortkiv. On 6 June 1919, the Peowiacy joined the Polish Army entering Chortkiv and fought with it against the Ukrainian army. Due to the start of the "Chortkiv offensive" by the Ukrainians, the Polish forces had to retreat to the line of the Dniester and Zolota Lipa. During the retreat, three peowiak died a martyr's death - they were captured by the Ukrainians and cruelly murdered. After the restoration of independence, the district branch of the Peowiak Association in Chortkiv and the branch of the Association of Polish Legionaries took action to build a monument in honour of those who had fallen in the service of their homeland. The monument was built thanks to the generosity of the local population, the considerable help of the army and the selfless work of engineer R. Brauner. It was erected in the Catholic cemetery in the quarters of soldiers of various nationalities killed in the First World War. Also buried in this quarters were the fallen Peowiak and Legionnaires, as well as Polish soldiers killed in the fight for this land in the Polish-Bolshevik war. The monument survived the Second World War and the communist period, but was in very poor condition. After many years of efforts, the Council for the Protection of Remembrance of Struggle and Martyrdom obtained permission to renovate the monument and the entire quarters. This work was carried out in 2007-2008 from the budget of the OPWiM Council. The quarter with the burials of Polish soldiers is located in the northern part of the cemetery, among contemporary burials. Some of the graves have been irretrievably destroyed - built over with civilian burials. Currently, there are 96 graves here, with the names of the fallen inscribed on the grave crosses. The memorial consists of an obelisk, widening at the top, set on a two-stepped base. The side edges have deep faults. The upper part is topped (on the east and west sides) with a central block, decorated on both sides with a convex carved eagle. On the sides are placed simple triangular forms - one above the other, resembling banners. On the front side, the obelisk has a slab with an inscription in Polish and Ukrainian: "Żołnierzom / Polskim / poległym / w walce / o Polskę / w latach / 1919-1920". The other sides of the obelisk are decorated with centrally placed convex carved military crosses. The square is fenced.
