Russian War Graves Fleurus Vieux Campinaire

Five Soviet citizens are buried in a collective grave at the Fleurus cemetery Vieux Campinaire.
Epitaph in Russian: "Sleep in peace, son of Russia, the homeland remembers you."
According to the available information, these are five prisoners of war who died during their captivity in a labour camp in the coal mines of the Charleroi region in 1943.
The cemetery register also mentions two anonymous graves with the notation 'Russian', but without location.
