The Monument to the 6th 'Dzieci Lwowskich' Armoured Regiment in Piedimonte San Germano was erected thanks to the efforts of the 'Dzieci Lwowskich' [Children of Lwów] Regimental Club. A memorial plaque containing the names of 40 members of the regiment who had been killed was mounted on the monument, which was unveiled and consecrated on 19 August 1973. The plaque bears the inscription: "FOR YOUR FREEDOM AND OURS, ON 26 MAY 1944, AFTER A FEROCIOUS FIVE DAY BATTLE, THE 6TH TH 'DZIECI LWOWSKICH' ARMOURED REGIMENT, ON ITS MARCH TO A DISTANT POLAND AND ALWAYS TRUE TO THE CITY OF ITS FOREFATHERS, CAPTURED THE HEIGHTS AND THE TOWN OF PIEDIMONTE SAN GERMANO.
PILGRIM FROM THE FATHERLAND, AS YOU STOP HERE FOR A MOMENT, TURN YOUR EYES UP TO GOD AND LET A SIGH EXPRESS YOUR PRAYER FOR THE SOULS OF YOUR BROTHERS WHO SACRIFICED THEIR YOUNG LIVES FOR THEIR FATHERLAND. LET FUTURE GENERATIONS KNOW THAT THE FREEDOM OF THE NATION IS NOT JUST A RIGHT AND THE GLORY OF THE LIVING! FREEDOM, ABOVE ALL, IS THE TRIUMPH OF THE FALLEN!"
