Ve zdi hrbitova u maloskalického kostela (je schovaná pod brectanem) je pískovcová deska. Deska informuje o 12 pruských a 24 rakouských vojínech pohrbených na hrbitove zde u zdi.
Pred výše touto deskou je další pomník - typizovaný litinový kríž na pískovcovém podstavci.
Za zmínku stojí i delové koule patrné ve fasáde kostela.
