In 2013 is het originele monument uit 1960 vervangen. De reden hiervoor was onder andere het verbeteren van de gegevens op het monument. Twee mensen stonden namelijk onterecht vermeld. Ook ontbraken er negen namen.
Het origineel was vervaardigd uit witte natuursteen. Op de zuil was een rechthoekige gedenkplaat bevestigd. Aan de onderkant bevond zich een zwarte plaquette.

In 2013, the original monument from 1960 was replaced. The reason for this was, among other things, to improve the data on the monument. Two people were incorrectly listed. Nine names were also missing.
The original was made of white natural stone. A rectangular memorial plaque was attached to the column. A black plaque was located at the bottom.
