In September 1939, more than 50,000 Polish refugees found refuge in Romania, including some 24,000 soldiers. Representatives of the supreme authorities of the Republic and all military personnel were interned. Initially, the plan was to locate the interned soldiers in the Danube delta region, probably in order to make escapes more difficult. The main internment centre was to be Tulcza, where it was planned to house generals and senior officers, but the originally established "Delegation of the WP Tulcza District" was renamed "Delegation of the WP Babadag District" on 11.10.1939 and the officers interned in Tulcza were transferred there. Special wards for Polish soldiers, staffed by Polish personnel, were organised in the hospitals in Tulcza and Babadag. At the beginning of October 1939, there were as many as 71 doctors and 30 Polish nuns on 24-hour duty in the Tulczyca hospital. Thirty beds were allocated for infectious patients. Due to the climatic and sanitary conditions, diseases were spreading in the district, of which malaria and dysentery were particularly dangerous. Much more severe proved to be dysentery, the most venomous type, from which 350 people fell ill, 160 of whom were hospitalised. Thanks to the great dedication of the medical staff and obtaining serum from the Romanian civilian sanitary services, a total of only 11 patients died in the two hospitals.In the Eternitatea cemetery, 8 soldiers who died during this period are buried, some of whom died of causes other than dysentery. They rested in a single row of graves, uniformly arranged. Concrete crosses were placed over the graves framed by concrete curbs.In 2005. The Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Bucharest repaired the graves with funds provided by the Council for the Protection of Struggle and Martyrdom Remembrance. Probably terrazzo slabs were then laid on the graves.Between the graves there is a small monument - two stone blocks with inscriptions in Polish and Romanian: "QUATERA OF POLISH REFUGEES / SOLDIERS OF THE POLISH ARMY / WHO DIED IN AUTUMN 1939 / MAY THEY REST IN PEACE".
