In January/February 1942, the redeployment of the Polish Armed Forces in the USSR (General Anders Army) from the Soviet Russian republic to the Central Asian republics took place. Between 1942 and 1945, the Valery Chkalov High School building (now named after Alisher Navoi) housed a military hospital to which sick soldiers of General Anders' Army from the Army Organisation Centre and the 6th Infantry Division were sent. It was probably a Soviet hospital No. 2952. At least 207 soldiers died of disease and exhaustion in Kitab in July-September 1942 (this is how many names we were able to establish), as well as an unknown number of civilians who arrived at the places where Polish units were being formed following a decree issued by the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on 12.08.1941 on the so-called "amnesty for Polish citizens". The Polish War Cemetery created in Kitab survived the Soviet times as a grassy area. In 1989, it was cleaned up by local pioneers and surrounded by a wooden fence. Above the gate was an inscription in Uzbek: "Fraternal grave" and a wooden plaque with the text: "Never forget". There were 125 burial mounds in the 50 x 15m plot. The pioneers set up a marble plaque with 86 names written in Cyrillic script (the sound of which was badly distorted). Further changes were carried out by the local authorities in 1998. - The fence was replaced by a concrete fence with a metal gate and the paths were concreted. Concrete tombstones were set up, each with an individual nameplate inscribed in Cyrillic and with a small cross. The list of names was established during an archive search in St Petersburg (the names were largely distorted). Flowers were planted around the graves. As part of the work carried out by the Council for the Protection of Remembrance of Struggle and Martyrdom in 2001, a new milepost monument was erected on the axis of the entrance, with a characteristic rectangular shape, uniform for all reconstructed cemeteries in Central Asia, topped with an eagle bas-relief. On either side of it are plaques with 207 names identified from Polish sources. The existing damaged tombstones were replaced by tombstones with a relief of a cross. At the entrance to the cemetery a plaque was placed informing about the care of the cemetery, which is financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage after the liquidation of the OPWiM Council: "POLISH / WAR CEMETERY / KITAB / TAKEN CARE OF / BY THE / MINISTRY OF CULTURE AND HERITAGE / NATIONAL / HERITAGE / REBUILT IN 2001 / THROUGH THE EFFORTS OF THE COUNCIL FOR THE PROTECTION OF MEMORY / OF FIGHTS AND MARTYRDOM". The Ministry of Culture and National Heritage is conducting research work to establish a census of civilians buried in cemeteries in Central Asia.
