Cmentarz wojenny w Szadkowicach – próba identyfikacji poległych żołnierzy na podstawie zachowanych nagrobków
War cemetery in Szadkowice – An attempt to identify fallen soldiers through survived tombstones

Summary/Abstract: After heavy fights between German, Austro-Hungarian and Russian armies in November-December 1914, a dozen or so war cemeteries were created in the vicinity of Szadek. One of such places is the war cemetery in Szadkowice, which still exists today. Initially 21 soldiers were buried there, but after exhumations and closing down of several other war cemeteries, about 200 more bodies were moved to Szadkowice. Along with the remains of the soldiers, tombstones from other necropolises were moved to the Szadkowice war cemetery. Until now, only 60 tombstones have survived in the Szadkowice cemetery, and only 33 of them have inscriptions. Based on these inscriptions the author of the article made an attempt to identify the killed soldiers and to find out in which units they served and where they lived or were born.
