The mortal remains of Polish soldiers, dead in 1942 in Hamadan, and buried in local cemeteries were transported to the Cemetery of British Commonwealth Gholhak in Tehran in 1962.
Ten graves of Polish soldiers spread in row B and C and in Ground No. 6, among the graves of British and Commonwealth soldiers, dead in Iran during World War I and II. They are standard tombstones similarly as in other British cemeteries, and are engraved with a symbol of national emblem of the Republic of Poland.
The cemetery is located at the rear of summer residence of the Ambassador of Great Britain in Iran. It is maintained very well, being in regular custody of British diplomatic agency and specialized institutions responsible for war shrines. The cemetery has a central monument and a chapel.
