23 soldiers who died on August 10, 1943 during the liberation of the village from the Nazi invaders are buried here. In 1958, the remains of soldiers from different places were transferred to a mass grave, on which a concrete sculpture of a soldier was installed in the same year. During the reconstruction, a concrete sculptural group of 2 soldiers on a brick pedestal was installed on the grave, and a granite slab with a memorial inscription and the names of the fallen soldiers was placed. To the left of the sculptural group, a concrete stele has been installed, on which 12 granite boards with the names of 222 compatriot soldiers who died during the Second World War are fixed.
