A long time ago, an aunt had given me a very faded photo of a gravesite of relatives, and on the other side, she wrote, that the location of these graves is near the Independence Monument in Zarasai. I had no idea where all this was, until we went to Lithuania for a month, and made a day trip to Zarasai.
We, first, inquired at the local Church, and were told that this monument stands in the Old Catholic Cemetery. We could not find the cemetery, and had to ask for directions at least three times. Once at the cemetery, which is large, hilly and crowded, we had no idea where to look for it. The large pine trees provide beauty and shade, but make it hard to locate something. Luckily, our son was with us, and he went scurrying up the hills, and covered much ground, until he found it.
This over 16 feet tall obelisk shaped monument composed of stone, was built in 1924 to commemorate the 56 volunteer soldiers who died for Lithuanian independence (1919-1920) . A cross is erected on the top of it, and a small wooden cross is placed in a wall niche behind glass. The monument stands alongside the graves, all marked by a modest white cross. There is also, a Tomb to the Unknown Soldier. Near this low fenced in area, is an information board and map, showing where other volunteer soldier cemetereries can be found in the vicinity of Zarasai.
