Polish Cemetery at Casamassima

The Polish Military Cemetery at Casamassima, was established in Casamassima, near Bari, in southern Italy, where there are about 431 graves of Polish soldiers and officers of the 2nd Polish Corps who died between 1944 and 1945. This small cemetery, mostly "Italian" in style, with decorative trees, is typical of the Mediterranean region and is located among surrounding vineyards.

Set in the middle of the cemetery, is an altar with the inscription: Heroes, not broken by the force of law — bravely and nobly died. Combatants who are buried there either died on the Gustav Line on the Sangro River, or had been wounded there or at Battle of Monte Cassino, and or had died either in hospitals in Bari or Naples.
