Further information sources

The story tells that while the stonemasons wrote the names of the soldiers on the four memorial tablets, the relatives of the dead soldiers were standing beside them.

The historian Nikolay Savov said: "They sit closely to the stoneman, and when he gets to the middle of the plates, there are more relatives coming in. They are already wearing small flowers, they carry food for the stonemasons, and when the solder’s name is written, they put the bunch of flowers on the bottom of the monument, and then work continues. "
