    Katyn memorial

    Hi Guys, as I was passing the site, close to the German military cemetery on Cannock Chase (UK) I thought I would drop in and take some photos for the forum.

    The memorial is the the thousands of Polish Officers murdered by the Soviets in 1940.

    More can be read here:

    I was a bit unhappy with the state of the area around the memorial. This was a graveled area but was covered in weeds. I intend to discover who should be responsible of the upkeep of this, I suspect Cannock Chase Council? If I cannot find out and things are not improved, I will undertake the work myself.

    Cheers, Ade.

        Names of each of the labour camps where the prisoners were held are featured on each side.

        Note that grass!

            Hopefully I will be able to report back soon with some pics to show the improvements.

            Cheers, Ade.
