Gunnersbury Cemetery

Gunnersbury Cemetery in London became the final resting place for around 1,600 Poles, it was opened in 1929 and is a place strongly associated with London's Polish community especially those emanating from the Second World War. Many military commanders, many distinguished emigration activists, veterans of the uprisings, cultural people as well as emigrants for bread are buried here.

Among those buried at Gunnersbury Cemetery are: Tadeusz Bór Komorowski-Divisional General of the Polish Army, commander of the Home Army, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces; Kazimierz Sabbat-Prime Minister and President of the Polish Republic in Exile. There is a grave of Józef Haller, General of the Polish Army, who died in London in 1960 and was buried in Gunnersbury Cemetery before his ashes were transported to Poland, to Krakow. In Gunnersbury Cemetery since 1976 there is the first Katyn Memorial in the UK
