At the edge of the cemetery in Gatina, there is a grave with a smaller marble memorial plaque measuring 40 x 3 x 3 cm, on a pedestal 30 x 25 and height 25 cm, with a concrete frame 56 x 155 cm. The ground contains soil with flowers. On the side of the plaque, there is a stone holder for candles on the left and a vase on the right made of stone. There is loose sand around the grave.

A few days before liberation, when the enemies panicked and retreated from Dolenjske towards Ljubljana, they stumbled upon three unwarranted victims in a ravine near Grdin mill and killed them with rifle butt shots. After their departure, local residents buried the unidentified bodies on the cemetery in Gatina.

The memorial is in the form of an inclined granite slab with sunken text, erected by the Local Committee ZB NOV Grosuplje. The grave was reburied in the 1970s of the 20th century.
