Also russians built fortress near Grodno

I mentioned only few of the fortresses ; it should be even more of them in the region

[global_disorder]

I remembered it accidentally.
But even in bssr this object is not very know/famous like fortress of Bobruisk, for example.

Thanks for the info, yes, fortress in Grodno isn't very well known. Yes I tried to look for the other fortresses rapidly but this object is difficult to find.

I like this monument very much.

My namesake is buried here.

My father named me after his best friend, Vernon Rigby, who was executed by the germans on the forced march across Poland during WW2, and is buried here in the British section. I hope one day to visit to pay my respects and lay a tribute to him.

Re: My namesake is buried here.

My tribute to him too.
It is very interesting to find people with such interesting fate in this blog ...
