There are 24 Polish graves in Layton Cemetery. We salute your brave deeds and the the honour and dignity which you show. Hopefully I have the spellings correct and would wish that you download any images. Comments appreciated. There are other War Memorials and graves in this cemetery - these pictures were taken on a raw January morning. This is a work in progress. I will update as I can read the gravestones and make the links. Any comments and information - and of course links in posts respectfully received. Please use any photos! I have larger prints should you need them. This is a link to the Sacred Heart church in Blackpool. There is a plaque in the church that refers to these airmen.
