Courier of the Gorenjska courier station G 18 Ivan Roblek - Peter from Britof near Kranj fell on 21 August 1944. A German patrol is said to have surprised him while he was digging with his companion in a trench. The plaque was discovered by ZB Britof and Kamniške Bistrice in July 1968 (according to another source in 1970). Four people survived the attack, and Zakonjšek described it as Branko Bračič and Marjan Lautar.
"On 18 August, the deputy commander of sector V, Ivan Kralj-Zvonko, arrived at the courier station, who was intended for Styria. Therefore, he continued his journey with two couriers heading for the Logarska Dolina. There, they encountered Germans who captured courier Milan Kokalj, while the other two managed to escape. However, on 21 August 1944, Kokalj led the Germans over Okrešlje and Kamniško sedlo to the courier camp in Klinah. At the station, there were only the deputy commander Branko Bračič-Jaka, courier Ivan Roblek-Peter, and cook Anica Škrjanc. Marjan Lautar-Rigo and Janez Rebolj were then washing in some hut. When Jaka and Peter noticed that the Germans were approaching the camp, they jumped into cover and shot at them. Captured Kokalj shouted at the couriers not to shoot and to surrender, as they were surrounded. He also called his brother Karl. Since the group did not want to surrender, the Germans started to shoot at them with machine guns and submachine guns. Jaka managed to escape through a ditch to the rocky walls, while Peter was hit by a burst through the chest, and cook Anica was captured. They also shot at Rigo and his companion. During the pursuit, they ran naked and barefoot upwards into the rocks, each on their own side, and escaped." (Zakonjšek)

Textual location description
Z nemarkirane poti v Repov kot, 250 m od odcepa s proti na Kamniško sedlo oz. sto metrov naprej po dolini od odcepa steze proti Kamniškemu dedcu, "desno ob poti kot v šopku rastejo tri bukve, malce nad njimi pa se šopiri približno trimetrska skala. Če se od tod ozrete v desno, lahko na pobočju Zeleniških špic opazite kratko grapico, ki se v blagem S spušča proti Sedelščku. No, tik pred omenjenimi bukvami se proti njemu odcepi tudi skromna stezica z naše strani. V nadaljevanju se sicer na nekaj mestih v travi izgubi, a do struge tudi brez nje ni pretežko sestopiti. V strugi je le čez eno skalo šumljal tanek curek vode, sicer je bila suha. Onstran nje je na golo sivo skalo pritrjena plošča" (Luštrek). DOPOLNJEN OPIS LOKACIJE: Iz Klina greš proti Repovemu kotu. Kakih 30--40 m za odcepom h Kamniškemu Dedcu leži napol strohnelo deblo (glej fotko). Če ga približno na sredini prestopiš v desno, zaznaš slabo opazno stezico. Zavije nad strugo Sedelščka in se usmeri ob njej navzgor. Prestopiš dve, tri podrta drevesa. Potem pa se stezica proti koncu žal izgubi. Do struge nadaljuješ kar v isti smeri. Plošča je na skali onstran struge, se pravi na levem bregu Sedelščka. KOORDINATE: S 46.34263, V 14.59860
