On the stone-marked burial field stands a wooden cross with an inscription on a copper plaque.
After the war, the location of the grave was named "By the Greek Grave," also "By the Russian Grave," or simply "By the Grave," after the soldier of a foreign army buried there.
According to the first account, it is a Greek soldier from the First World War. At times, it is said there was a stone cross with an inscription, presumably in Cyrillic script, on the grave.
According to the account written by Franc Černigoj, also the author of the cross, it is the grave of a German soldier of Greek origin, who supposedly fell here in 1945.
