A place dedicated to the memory of the insurgent special forces "Jerzyki". On August 28 - September 2, 1944, "Jerzyki" defended positions on the nearby dunes, stopping attacks by RONA units from the direction of Truskaw and protecting the Home Army group in Wiersze (the so-called Rzeczpospolita Kampinoska). Eight of them died and were buried at the current monument, and later their bodies were moved to the partisan cemetery in Wiersze. Every year, ceremonies commemorating the fights are held at the grave. In the vicinity there is a large tourist clearing with a shelter and a place for a bonfire.

A cross commemorating the battle of the Jerzyki unit with the RONA formation near Pociecha in the Kampinos Forest on 28 August - 2 September 1944.

Insurgent Special Units "Jerzyki" (POS "Jerzyki") - a clandestine military-civilian organization founded in 1939 by Jerzy Strzałkowski on the initiative of President Starzyński. It operated mainly in the General Government, conducting armed combat and civilian activities (including secret education, helping Jews, distributing the press). In 1943 it was subordinated to the Home Army. Some of the structures in Łódź came under the influence of the PPR, creating the PPP "Wyzwolenie". After the Warsaw Uprising it continued sabotage operations. Disbanded in January 1945. In 1987, the POS banner was awarded the Order of Virtuti Militari.
