The text on a nearby plaque reads:
"Free Warsaw will never forget those, who with their pain and blood, started the work on her reconstruction."

The names and units of the sappers who died are listed on each pillar, as well as a Polish-language description of the heroic work they undertook.

It's clear, that this memorial is dedicated to the sappers who gave their live disarming mines and booby traps in the years after the war.
