Grave of Polish Army soldiers killed in the Polish-Bolshevik war

In a mass grave in the cemetery rests an undetermined number of Polish Army soldiers killed in the Polish-Bolshevik war. "List of Polish Army losses" states that 8 soldiers died and died in Nowa Uszyca in 1920, but it is not known if they are the ones buried here.
The grave has survived to the present day, and for many years it was cared for by the Szczypkowski family. In 2013, the grave was cleaned and fenced in as part of the "Save the Grave of Praděd from Oblivion" campaign. As part of the works carried out, the inscription plaque was also replaced.
Currently, the grave field is surrounded by a chain stretched on metal posts. In the central part of the field there is a black granite cross, on either side of which lie on the ground inscription plaques (one in Polish and the other in Ukrainian) made of light stone. The inscription reads: "Here rest the soldiers of the Polish Army fallen in 1920. We ask for your prayers. Compatriots to Compatriots".
