This is where Lieutenant General Abdel-Moniem Riad was killed in 1969 during the war of attrition, and is the exact spot where soldiers began initial attempts to regain the Sinai peninsular, culminating in the war in October 1973.

The memorial is located on the eastern bank of the Suez Canal opposite to Area Number Six and can be reached by ferry. It was established by the Egyptian Armed Forces in the grounds of the first fort freed during the war.
