Malbork (formerly Marienburg) is a town on the River Nogat, lying south-east of Gdansk (Danzig). The Malbork Commonwealth War Cemetery will be found on the outskirts of Malbork and contains Commonwealth war graves of both world wars. The graves lie in mown grass plots and have headstones of Portland stone.
