405th Reg. memorial

405th Reg. memorial, Military cenotaph in Golan Heights, Israel.

The 405th Regiment Memorial is a stone cenotaph built on elevated terrain in the Golan Heights. It features inscriptions honoring service members from the regiment who participated in military operations.

The 405th Artillery Battalion was called to the Golan Heights the day after Rosh Hashanah 1973 and deployed west of Tel Jochadur. On the night of 6–7 October a Syrian tank company overran Battery B, killing 15 soldiers at the spot. A first monument of shell casings and equipment was raised after the war; the present memorial site, designed by Livia Manos, was dedicated in October 2008.

The memorial's centerpiece is two basalt stones engraved with the names of the fallen, arranged by where they died. Around them stand 21 stones brought to the site, 21 poplar trees and a metal sculpture of a tree with 21 branches, one for each of the 21 soldiers. An explanatory station stands on the grounds.

The memorial sits on elevated terrain and is accessible by walking paths that branch from the main road. Parking is available near the entrance for those who wish to visit.

From this elevated position, visitors can see across multiple points of the region that held strategic importance. The location itself explains why this area mattered for military operations.
