Newark and Trent Cemetery not only contains hundreds of graves dating from early Victorian times but is home to Commonwealth War graves and is also to the Polish war graves of the many Polish Service personal that were stationed locally ,many in the RAF . There is a memorial to the Air crew lost trying to drop supplies to the Polish resistance during the Warsaw uprising situated just outside the main war graves area.
The Cemetery was also home to the remains of Wladyslaw Sikorski before it was returned to Poland in 1993 , although his monument and grave site remain and are beautifully kept .
The Main Section contains over 300 Polish Graves and a smaller number of Commonwealth Graves.
