The cemetery contains two graves of Polish soldiers, killed in 1919 or 1920, exhumed by the Institute of National Remembrance in 2022 from near the village of Zwierzyniec in the Troki region. Their burial in the local cemetery took place in 2023. The graves are located at the end of the cemetery, to the right of the main avenue.

The inscriptions on both graves are identical and read: "NN / found during search work / conducted by the IPN Search and Identification Bureau / near the village of Zwierzyniec, Troki region / in 2022".
