The
Lidzbark Warminski War Cemetery is adjacent to the Lidzbark Warminski
town border from north-east, it is located in Markajmy suburb, approx.
300 metres to the right (south-east) of road 51. Please note that this
cemetery is located in Lidzbark Warminski and NOT Lidzbark which is
another town in the same province, but the two towns are 150 km away
from each other. There are 39 Casulaties buried here from the First
World War.
The
men buried here were held alongside thousands of Russians at the Heilsberg
prisoner of war camp and died in 1918 and were buried in a nearby cemetery,
but after it deteriorated in the 1960s, they were remembered with a
memorial 75 miles away. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission subsequently
rebuilt the cemetery as it is now which was dedicated on 16 May 2014.
