At the local cemetery in Gatina, there is a grave behind the cemetery wall near the church with a smaller marble memorial plaque of dimensions 40 x 3 x 3 cm, on a base of 30 x 25 and a height of 25 cm, surrounded by a concrete frame of 56 x 155 cm. Inside it is earth with flowers. To the left of the plaque is a stone base for candles, and to the right is a stone vase. Around the grave, sand has been scattered.

Only a few days before the liberation, when the enemies panicked and retreated from Dolenjska towards Ljubljana, they descended at the mill in Grdem žleb and killed three innocent victims with bayonets. After their departure, the locals buried the strangers in the cemetery at Gatina.

The memorial is in the form of a tilted granite plaque with an engraved inscription, placed by the Local Committee of the Liberation Front of Grosuplje. The grave was arranged in the 1970s of the 20th century.
