SUPPORT THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MONUMENT
Continuing the work of those who wanted to commemorate cavalry and mounted artillery, we decided to start the construction of the Monument to the Glory of Cavalry and Mounted Artillery, which includes the mausoleum of the Battle of Komarów. In this work, we work with volunteer cavalry from all over Poland and the World Union of Home Army Soldiers – Zamość District.
Members of the Association of the Battle of Komarów carried out all the work related to the preparation for the construction of the Monument free of charge.
The construction of the Monument requires significant funds, therefore we are asking for financial support. Thank you!
