The monumental marble stele is dedicated to the dead of the 3rd Military Force and is placed on a marble base and a marble stepped pedestal. The places of battles where the soldiers of the Force fell are inscribed on the 4 sides and on the top of the western side there is a cross.
The 3rd Military Force has existed since 1913 (the era of the Balkan Wars) except for the years of German occupation and a short period after World War I. The sculpture’s creator, the date of its construction and the date of its installation are unknown.
