At the entry road to Radzikowo, there is a shared grave of soldiers killed during the First and the Second World War. The burial site can be found near the bridge, on the western bank of the stream flowing through the town. It is marked in an exceptionally modest way – behind a low metal fence, directly on the ground, there are six sandstone gravestones with inscriptions faded by passing time. Over the graves there is a simple metal cross installed in 2001. Formerly the grave was intended for soldiers killed in the local area between 1914 and 1918 (the frontline went through Radzików in 1914 and 1915). Particularly intensive combat encounters between German and Russian armies took place here in October 1914. Both sides included Polish participants living in different partitions. Memory of the names of the soldiers buried in the grave faded along with the inscriptions. Further research is also required to establish the identities of the ones killed and buried here during the Second World War. Intensive combat took place near Warsaw during the September Campaign, later on guerrilla troops of the Home Army operated here and occupation authorities committed numerous executions of the captured conspirators.
