In the Erezée region, the tension was at its peak. Among the population, the hope of liberation was gradually turning into certainty, and it was known that the Allies were not far away. The Resistance, still very active in the region, sent frequent reports on the situation. Near the village of Amonines, four members of the Secret Army were arrested by an SS officer. 

They were taken in a vehicle before being dropped off at the entrance of a forest by the roadside. After several attempts at negotiation, the men were shot. Only one of them managed to escape and narrowly avoided the massacre. Behind the monument, three crosses are placed at the site of their death. 

The monument also commemorates the names of the Soy resistance fighters who fell during the first liberation: Nestor Borremans, Vital Etienne, and Jules Fonck; as well as the two resistance fighters who fell on the same day in Briscol: Jacques Mottart and Joseph Hanquet.
