It was erected by the Association of Partisans of the Liberation of Loka at Mengši on 24 March 1946. The monument was restored in 1966. The monument represents a triangular pyramid made of stone. Beneath the inscription plate is a white plate with seven grey relief maple leaves.

The Germans arrested the first three partisans on 3 May 1943, and a few days later also Janez and Katarina Kosec. The men were shot as partisans, while the women were deported to a camp, where they died. About how Koščeva house at the edge of the village cared for partisans and hid the wounded, the niece of the fallen Cilka Kosec, whose son and later husband also cared for partisans as a railway worker, told Majdi Sadar. A relative, employed by the Germans in Kranj, who also demanded that they be killed, betrayed the locals to the Germans. One sister died on the way home from the camp.
