Schneidemühl / Schneidemuehl Prison Camp, Posen, West Prussia (now Pila, Poland) Abandoned Graves (18 lost Graves)

The CWGC Glossary defines "Abandoned" as "due to a number of reasons, various cemetery sites and individual graves could no longer be maintained by the CWGC." The CWGC page for Poznam explains "After the First World War, the graves of Commonwealth servicemen who had died in Poland as prisoners of war were gathered together in this cemetery." and 18 are "known to have been buried at Pila (formerly Schneidemuhl) Prisoners of War Cemetery, all of whose graves could not be identified." The glossary further states that "the CWGC's responsibility to the individual war dead was maintained by providing an alternative commemoration elsewhere." and in accordance with this 17 of this group are commemorated in the CWGC Poznan Old Garrison Cemetery with Pte Oliver Clough being commemorated in the Berlin South-Western Cemetery.
