=========================================================

250 kroku východne od kostela ve Václavicích stojí pri polní ceste
pískovcový pomník ve tvaru krychle zdobený krížem, delostreleckou cákou a ratolestí. Pomník stojí na hromadném hrobe údajne 23 dustojníku.

Od pomníku je pekný výhled na okolní krajinu. Velké množství pomníku v okoli je zrejme dáno tuhými strety o toto strategické místo.
