At the Vaska cemetery, there is a burial site of five partisans. The memorial plaque (100 cm x 65 cm) is made of white marble. Besides the bronze sign ZB, on the side there is a stylized sword carved as a symbol of honorable combat. The carved inscription is gilded.

In this grave were buried the partisan fighters who had fallen at the Red Mill in Lower Bitnja and in the nearby hills, in 1945.

The design of the memorial plaque was made by the construction technician Metod Oblak.

The discovery took place on June 16, 1952.
