History
[edit | edit source]The monument was proposed and founded by the Warsaw Insurgents Association and the Heroes of the Warsaw Uprising Remembrance Foundation.[1] It was made by sculptor Marcin Nowicki and unveiled on 2 August 2019, a day before the first anniversary of Ścibor-Rylski's death.[2][3]
Characteristics

It is placed in the Marshal Edward Rydz-Śmigły Park. The location was chosen because the Battalion Czata 49, in which Ścibor-Rylski was a company commander, fought there in 1944.[1]
