The third memorial unit is dedicated to the heroes who fell on the battlefields throughout Yugoslavia in the People's Liberation War. The „Lješanska nahija“ itself was the scene of battles, in which the national hero Milovan S. Čelebić also took part. His attacks on enemy forces in the battle of Staniseljići, the village of Lješanska nahija, are still alive in the stories. He died at the age of 31 from wounds received in the battle of Jablanica in 1943 (in Bosnia and Herzegovina). Along with his name, and with the other 230 fighters killed in the People's Liberation War (NOR), the name of the heroine Jelena B. Ćetković (1916 - 1943) is inscribed here on the stone plaque. She was shot in Jajinci, leaving behind the song "Behind Bars" which she wrote during slavery in the Banjica camp (Belgrade).

Within the project “Heritage Walks & Talks” project, we are developing a new cultural and tourist product that will be able to be used freely by individual tourists, as well as travelers in groups. The concept we want to present to you is conceived as a walk through heritage, and we will be able to use it when we want to get acquainted with the cultural and historical heritage of the Western Balkans, especially the heritage that is still modestly derived from the traditions of local communities and that all the visitors have yet to find out.
