On the Jl. Garuda lies the location of the former Military Field of Honour Tjililitan.
The field of honour was located at the military airfield where most of the victims of the "U" Brigade and of the Military Air Force of the K.N.I.L. were buried.
The Field of Honour was inaugurated on 8 November 1948.
Nowadays the terrain belongs to the Indonesian Air Force and is therefore not accessible for visiting.
