On November 24-25, Czechia will celebrate the centenary of the monument "Fallen for the Fatherland in the Great World War." This monument is located in the fortress of Josefov in the town of Jaroměř, on the site of a former concentration camp for Russian prisoners of war during World War I.

In December 1916, a monument "Fallen for the Fatherland in the Great World War" was erected in the city cemetery of the fortress of Josefov. The funds for its construction were raised by the Russian prisoners of war themselves with the support of the Austrian military ministry.

The monument is made in the form of a cement block resembling a rock, on which the head of Jesus Christ in a crown of thorns is carved. The monument is topped with a cross. In front of the rock is a figure of a weeping nobleman's daughter on her knees, symbolizing Russia. Nearby are figures of a knight with a sword and two children. Above the Savior's head is an inscription: "Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his soul for his friends." The author of the monument is Nikolai Sushkin, a sculptor from Tula and a warrant officer in the Russian army, who was in the camp from 1914 to 1918. Since the monument was installed, local residents have taken care of it, and the budget of the nearest town allocates funds for the maintenance of the cemetery and the monument.
