Tomb of a Home Army soldier

Tomb of a Home Army soldier

A small cemetery, overgrown with old trees, has been preserved at the settlement of Svitniki in the municipality of Bujwidzka. It was probably established already in the middle of the 16th century and was in use until the 19th century. During World War II, a Home Army soldier with the nickname "Kurier" was buried here.
The soldier's grave is topped by a stone slab with the inscription: "Unknown Home Army soldier "Kurier" died near Bujwidz in 1945".
