Description

A typical GRU/IWGC Battlefield cross which originally had three white metal strips at the crossing point , the strip describing the casualty's unit is now (at 2022) missing. There are two plaques fixed to the wall just below the cross which are probably associated with it , but this cannot be confirmed because the contents of these are illegible in the only available image .
