WARSZAWA, Poland. Grób Nieznanego Żołnierza


WARSZAWA, Poland
Plac marsz. Józefa Piłsudskiego

Grób Nieznanego Żołnierza [‘Tomb of the Unknown Soldier’]. This memorial, a work by the sculptor Stanislaw Kazimierz Ostrowski (Warsaw, 8 May 1879 - New York, 13 May 1947), was erected on 2 November 1925 to honor of the memory of soldiers who died in the struggle for independence of Poland during 
the World War I (1914-1918). Damaged during World War II,
was rebuilt in 1946 and restored between 1990 and 1991. It is installed on the colonnade (only preserved part) of destroyed Saxon Palace.
