The Polish war graves section in Newark is the largest Polish plot of any cemetery in the UKCeremonies are to take place in the UK to mark the repatriation of three Polish presidents who are buried there.
The three are due to be returned to their homeland as part of an initiative to establish a mausoleum in Warsaw.This included the post-war period when the country was occupied by the Soviet Union.The Polish ambassador Piotr Wilczek, who will be attending the event, said: "Władysław Raczkiewicz, August Zaleski and Stanisław Ostrowski were remarkable figures in Poland's resistance movement.
"They fought so hard for Poland's independence, yet none lived to see the country become a free nation in 1989. To see them return home after so many years will be deeply moving."The Polish government-in-exile was the legitimate state representation of Poland from the authorities' evacuation in 1939 until 1990. Reconstructed first in Paris, and from 1940 residing in London, it led the Polish war effort throughout World War Two.
The repatriation is taking place as part of an initiative to establish a mausoleum of the Polish presidents-in-exile in Warsaw.
