At Zawodzie (a district of Jemielnica), there is an old French cemetery from 1813, on the site of which a monument is erected bearing an inscription in French: "To the soldiers of the Grande Armée who died in the years 1812-1813". According to the information recorded in the parish chronicle, it is known that in 1813, 1,300 sick French soldiers arrived: 900 of them went to Jemielnica and 400 to Błotnica Strzelecka. Of the 1,300 soldiers, only 45 remained. The rest died of typhus, also infecting many inhabitants of the village. 470 soldiers were buried beneath this monument.
