POLAND - Austrian War Cemetery No.118, Staszkowka

Staszkówka - Patria, the WW the 1-st Military Cemetery no. 118.  Thanks to Eweline for the card.

"On a flat ridge of the Patria Hill (432 m above sea level), among the trees, we can see from afar four massive stone pylons. Two of them are crowned with blades of huge iron swords, aimed straight at the sky. This structure, visible from afar, is a central part of the war cemetery No 118, designed by Berlin sculptor, Hermann Hosaeus – as because out of 763 soldiers buried here, more than half fought in the German army. Among them, there were also many Poles from the Prussian Partition, from Wielkopolska. Source

This war cemetery contains 439 war graves: 281 Austro-Hungarian and 43 Russian soldiers who fell in the First World War."
