In January/February 1942, the redeployment of the Polish Armed Forces in the USSR (General Anders' Army) from the Soviet Russian republics to the Central Asian republics took place. Units of the 10th Infantry Division were located in the village of Lugovaya. The servicemen and civilians who died here from exhaustion and disease, and who arrived at the places where the Polish units were being formed following the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on the so-called "amnesty for Polish citizens", announced on 12.08.1941, were buried in the military cemetery allocated in the local Orthodox cemetery. The Akim of the nearby town of Kulan funded and placed here a metal plaque with the inscription in Kazakh and Russian "We remember together with the Polish nation". In 1998, Father Piotr Ostafin - the Roman Catholic parish priest from Taraz - erected a small (1.2 m) cross. A plaque with hand-painted inscriptions in Polish, Kazakh and Russian was placed on it: "To the soldiers of General Anders' Polish Army and deported Poles resting in the land of Kazakhstan in token of remembrance - Compatriots". Under the inscriptions the text: NON OMNIS MORIAR.In 2001. The Council for the Protection of Remembrance of Struggle and Martyrdom carried out a reconstruction of the plot - tombstones with a relief cross and name plates were placed on the reconstructed rows of graves. The graves were surrounded by a low stone wall. A monument in the shape of a milepost was erected with the inscription: "HERE REST / POLACKS / 49 SOLDIERS / OF THE POLISH ARMY / IN THE EAST / GEN. WŁ. ANDERS / AND CIVILIANS / FORMER PRISONERS OF WAR / PRISONERS / OF THE SOVIET GULAGS / WHO DIED IN 1942. / ON THE WAY TO THE LAND / honour their memory".On the fence posts at the entrance are information plates in two languages - Polish and Kazakh. Polish text: "POLISH / WAR CEMETERY / LUGOWAYA STATION / FOUNDED BY / THE REPUBLIC OF POLAND / BY THE EFFORT OF THE COUNCIL / FOR THE PROTECTION OF MEMORIES / OF WARS AND MARTY / WHO ALSO CARES FOR IT".After the liquidation of the OPWiM Council, the care of the cemetery is financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. The Ministry of Culture is also conducting research work to establish a census of civilians buried in cemeteries in Central Asia.
