Katyn Memorial, War memorial in Gunnersbury Cemetery, London, United Kingdom.
The memorial consists of a 6.5-meter granite obelisk featuring an eagle encircled with barbed wire at Gunnersbury Cemetery in London.
The monument commemorates 14,500 Polish prisoners of war who disappeared in 1940 from camps at Kozielsk, Starobielsk, and Ostaszkow during World War II.
The memorial represents a central gathering place for Polish expatriates in the United Kingdom to honor and remember their fallen countrymen.
Located in the London Borough of Hounslow, the memorial can be accessed through designated cemetery entrances during regular visiting hours.
The unveiling ceremony in 1976 proceeded without official British government representatives due to political tensions with the Soviet Union.
