The Polish Cemetary
Just over 1,000 Polish soldiers final resting place is in the saddle between the Abbey and Point 593. The Poles were the force that finally captured the Abbey, however they paid a high price in dead and wounded.

The view to the North West - the Polish Cemetary, Point 593, and Mt Cairo (behind the tree). The Abbey from the Polish cemetary (in the saddle to point 593). The Abbey from the Polish cemetary (in the saddle to point 593).
