Egrof veRomach memorial

The Egrof veRomach memorial consists of two distinct monuments that incorporate authentic military equipment from the Sinai Peninsula to commemorate fallen soldiers of the Reserve Armored Brigade. The structures combine physical artifacts with personal stories from military operations.

Colonel David Teperson established this memorial in 1980 to honor Machal volunteers who participated in the 1948 War of Independence and subsequent military campaigns. The site focuses on the conflicts that shaped the nation's early history.

The memorial serves as a gathering place for annual ceremonies where veterans, families, and community members come together to honor fallen soldiers and military service. These occasions bring people to reflect on shared sacrifice and dedication.

The site is located in Givat Ha'koach and can be explored on foot, with the monuments easily accessible. A nearby museum in Kfar Shmaryahu offers detailed information and documented accounts of military operations.

The memorial incorporates authentic objects from the Sinai Peninsula that directly connect to the actual locations where military operations took place. This physical link makes the historical events tangible and place-specific for visitors.
