Dalbeth Cemetery, Polish Section
Image: © Raymond Okonski Taken: 21 Jun 2007
This restful avenue is one of four in this special section of Dalbeth. It was created in the late 40's as a last resting place for Polish ex-servicemen (and their families) who had made their homes in the west of Scotland after fighting against Germany and their rejection of the Communist state subsequently imposed on their country (and most of eastern Europe) after WW2. A larger stone memorial to the ex-combatants is obscured by the tree on the left (east).
