The surviving inscriptions on the plates show that the soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian army buried here fought in the 21st infantry regiment (recruitment area in the vicinity of Czaslawa in the Czech Republic), the 62nd infantry regiment (recruited in the area of Tirgu Muresz in present-day Romania), the 36th regiment infantry (Pilzno recruitment area in the Czech Republic), 59th Salzburg infantry regiment, 30th Lviv infantry regiment, 98th infantry regiment (area of high toll recruitment in the Czech Republic) and 80th Zolochiv infantry regiment in which mainly Poles and Ukrainians fought and 14. infantry regiment with soldiers from around Linz, Austria. The only German soldier buried here fought in the 46th Prussian Infantry Regiment and was killed on May 7, 1915. Because German units did not fight on this section of the front, most probably the soldier died from wounds during train transport and was buried in the vicinity of the nearest railway station. There is little information about Russian soldiers. The only known unit in which the soldiers of the Russian army were buried here are 255. Derbencki Infantry Regiment. [source: Wikipedia, 2439916]]
