History

The relief was placed on the cliff under the castle of Trencsén. The artwork of Kara Mihály was unveiled on October 4, 1916.

It commemorated the heroes, who had fallen during World War I. After the Czechoslovaks invaded the town, they ordered the town to remove the memorial several times, but they were refused. Finally the new Czechoslovak administration of the county replaced it in 1921 with the relief of Jiskra, a Czech Hussite bandit Ieader, whose thugs plundered northern Hungary for decades in the middle of the 15th century.
