Israeli Signal Corps memorial, Military memorial in Yehud-Monosson, Israel.
This memorial honors fallen soldiers of the Israeli Signal Corps with inscribed walls bearing their names. It also displays communication equipment that was used during military operations throughout history.
Yehud allocated the land in 1983, and the site was inaugurated on 25 September 1989; it has been run since by Lt. Col. (res.) Yehuda Mattityahu. The memorial obelisk in the ceremony plaza, made of stainless-steel pipes and 30 metres tall, is shaped as a tree: a wide diagonal branch cut short for bereavement, a narrow one rising for life. The avenue leading from Weizmann Street holds broken-based spider and radio-telephone antennas, and a 1979 monument moved here from Haruvit Forest on 2 June 2010.
Families and veterans gather here for ceremonies honoring those who worked in military communications. These gatherings show how deeply the Signal Corps is valued in the community.
The site lies in Yehud-Monosson, the city that adopted the Signal Corps headquarters. A tree-lined avenue from Weizmann Street, planted with spider and radio-telephone antennas on broken concrete bases, leads to the ceremony plaza and memorial garden. The main stainless-steel monument rises 30 metres, and the 1979 Haruvit Forest memorial was moved here on 2 June 2010.
The 30-metre stainless-steel monument is shaped like a tree: a wide, slanting branch cut off abruptly stands for grief, while a narrower column rising from it points upward for life. A verse from Ezra, "and the sound was heard afar off", is engraved on its base.
