The WW Military cemetery of Uzhgorod (Ungvár), immediately next to the Tymiryazjeva Street Cemetery. The two cemeteries were separated with a fence before, but only the piles are remaining from this structure. The First World War cemetery was part of the Uzhgorod military garrison cemetery. The soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian Army and prisoners of war of the Imperial Russian Army, who died in the military hospitals of Uzhgorod during 1914-1948 were buried at the cemetery.

During the Czechoslovakian (1919-1939) and Hungarian (1939-1944) periods of Transcarpathia's history, the authorities took care the cemetery. After WW2 the military burials were left unattended and the condition of the cemetery gradually began to decline. Today just a few number of the former stones can be found here.
