A list of the 253 locations in Britain which have Polish war graves (World War 2) is given in the tables below. These are the graves of the Polish Armed Forces that the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) has responsibility for. Photographs of 1,108 of these Polish war graves are available on this website.

The CWGC provides headstones for those who died between 3 September 1939 and 31 December 1947. If a person died between these dates whilst in war service or of causes attributable to war service then they were classified as a war casualty and entitled to a CWGC headstone.
