>From the responses I got it sounds like WWI or WWII German soldiers graves.
Their names apparently unknown.

Subject: [Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Grave inscription in German Lipno
This inscription appeared on a grave stone in the Lipno graveyard. There was
no date or names. It appeared to have been attended to recently. The stone
lays flat on the ground. There were small stones (maybe 16) laid in a wide
semi circle around it. My German is good enough to get the gist. Could
someone give me a translation?
