    The photos don't show this monument, so if someone adds an attraction, it's worth the effort to post photos that correspond to it. For this reason, I've added two photos of the monument in question.

    Instead of the titular monument, the photo shows the Regional Historical Chamber in Zambrów, which was established in March 2000 in the Municipal Cultural Centre in Zambrów. Its initiator was Jarosław Strenkowski. Over the course of 14 years, the Regional Historical Chamber has changed its location four times. Currently, the Regional Historical Chamber of the Municipal Centre in Zambrów is located at Aleja Wojska Polskiego 25.

    The Monument to the Officer of the Second Republic of Poland in Zambrów was unveiled on Sunday, September 5, 2010 on the square in front of the Zambrów Industrial Park.

    The initiative to build the monument was initiated by the City of Zambrów in May 2009. The design of the sculptor Michał Selerowski was selected in a competition.

    Unlike other monuments designed by Michał Selerowski, the monument in Zambrów has a traditional layout: the figure of a standing officer in a wz. 36 from the times of the Second Polish Republic, set on a granite plinth.
