Tombstone of Feliks Sójkowski

Feliks Sójkowski (Sujkowski) was born in 1840 or 1844, was the son of an insurgent of 1831, and began studying at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at the University of Warsaw, which was solemnly reactivated in November 1862. Sójkowski's biography gives the year 1861, but at that time the Academy of Medicine and Surgery had not yet been transformed into the University of Warsaw. He interrupted his studies by joining the uprising. He fought first in Jankowski's unit, then Langiewicz's, and finally Lelewel's. On 10 October he was taken prisoner by the Russians and sent to Siberia, where in 1869 he was conscripted into the Tsar's army, with which he ended up in Prussia in 1876; he then deserted and fled to Prague, where he was sent for vagrancy to prison, where he died on 7 February 1877.

Grave location part II, ward 1, grave number 195.

The gravestone has been included in the programme of care of the Embassy of the Republic of Poland since 2021 on the basis of an agreement concluded with the Cemetery Administration in Prague. In 2021 the tombstone underwent conservation work.
