In the [[World War II|Second World War]] there were several RAF stations within a few miles of Newark, many holding squadrons of the [[Polish Air Force]]. A plot was set aside in Newark Cemetery for RAF burials. This is now the war graves plot, where all but ten of the 90 Commonwealth and all of the 397 Polish burials were made. The cemetery also has 49 scattered burials from the [[World War I|First World War]]. A memorial cross to the Polish airmen buried there was unveiled in 1941 by [[Władysław Raczkiewicz|President Raczkiewicz]], ex-President of the Polish Republic and head of the wartime Polish government in London, supported by [[Władysław Sikorski]], head of the [[Polish Armed Forces in the West]] and [[Polish government-in-exile#Prime ministers|Prime Minister of the Polish Government in Exile]] in 1939–1943. When the two died – Sikorski in 1943 and Raczkiewicz in 1947 – they were buried at the foot of the monument. Sikorski's remains were returned to Poland in 1993, but his former grave in Newark remains as a monument.<ref>{{cite web |title=Newark upon Trent Cemetery |url= http://www.cwgc.org/find-a-cemetery/cemetery/2069700/NEWARK-UPON-TRENT%20CEMETERY |publisher=Commonwealth War Graves Commission |access-date=23 June 2012 |url-status=live |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20121015153508/http://www.cwgc.org/find-a-cemetery/cemetery/2069700/NEWARK-UPON-TRENT%20CEMETERY |archive-date=15 October 2012}}</ref> [[RAF Winthorpe]] was opened in 1940 and declared inactive in 1959.
