Newark Cemetery was constructed in 1856 both as a final resting place for the dead and as a park for the people of the town. The CWGC cares for the graves of 49 servicemen of the First World War scattered throughout the war cemetery. When the Second World War broke out, several RAF air bases were established in the area. Polish aircrews operated from a number of these bases and their dead were laid to rest here. The cemetery is a special place for Polish remembrance. - CWGC
