KhoramShahr is a port in southern-western part of Iran, opening at the Persian Gulf, 90 Km away from Ahwaz and less from Basra. The neighboring Iraq frontier was the reason why KhoramShahr became a point of transit for Polish soldiers, going to Basra and further in the territory of Iraq to the quarters of Polish troops. It was also a part from where the refugees were evacuated to India, East Africa and other overseas.

Polish graves are located on a small plot of Catholic-Chaldean Cemetery belonging to local religious community. Five Polish soldiers and officers were buried there. Their names were found in the book of the Defunct. Yet since the time of establishment of the cemetery, these data were not checked against the number of graves. The cemetery has not been visited so far and its present conditions remain unknown.

In many official documents and publications on this topic, the name of locality has been misspelled as Khoram-abad, located in central Iranian mainland.
