Installed along the main road, at the crossroads of the road to Bomal, a monument has been erected in honour of the 238th Engineer Combat Battalion, a unit of the army corps that had been ordered to install a defensive position at this location. In the meadow behind the monument, the 700 men in this unit placed thousands of mines on the ground, which were covered by a few centimetres of snow during the night of 24 to 25 December. Five German tanks were destroyed by this minefield during the assault on Grandmenil.
