Mount Vernon Catholic Cemetery |

Liberton area of Edinburgh. |
|
According to the Register of the Commission this
cemetery contains 30 Polish war graves. Of the 30 burials, the Commission
state that 20 are Army, 9 civilian and 1 Navy. There are a further two
service personnel that should be included. The basis for their inclusion is

in this cemetery and some of the inscriptions on the memorials bear testament
to previous service in the Polish Armed Forces. |
