The monument consists of a marble plaque mounted on a concrete base. Around the monument is a fence with a chain. The monument bears an inscription with the names of the fallen.

According to initial reports, three partisans were killed in the full-day battle. Some testimonies mentioned a fourth unknown combatant, who was reportedly of Croatian origin. A brave fighter from Moscow, who was called "Russian Ivan" in his unit, was killed. In the first morning attack, Gabriel Helbing from Kaple was seriously wounded; later, another of the occupier's units came upon him. On the monument, which was erected much later, Leopold Koh is also listed among the fallen, although official records of the battle do not mention him. It is likely that he was initially listed among the missing and was only later confirmed to have been killed. Despite the withdrawal, the battle was marked as successful, as it made the occupier aware that in the future, he would no longer have peace in this area.
