The quarters of Polish Army soldiers killed in the Polish-Bolshevik war

In Holshany, a military cemetery was established in the parish cemetery, where soldiers killed in the Polish-Soviet war were laid to rest. Bodies buried near the church in Holshany, as well as in the following villages, were exhumed to this quarter: Khovanshchyna, Dachny, Giejstuny, Luzhchny, Markinięta, Milejkowo, Novosiolki district of Oshmyany, Wielka Myssa and Zagórze. The quarter consists of 3 rows of graves with crosses and a central cross. There are 16 graves, some of which are mass graves. 20 soldiers are buried here, including 12 known by name and 8 unnamed. Documents give 3 more names of soldiers who were once buried here, but now their graves do not exist. They are: Stefan Czerwonka, Piotr Dzierszewicz and Franciszek Paszkowski. The renovation of the gravesite was carried out in 2020-2021 by the Foundation in Aid to Poles in the East as part of a task co-financed by the 'Places of National Remembrance Abroad' programme of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. Due to the considerable deterioration of the tombstone material, granite replicas were made.
