At the Volunteers' Gate memorial in the village of Aleksandrovo, almost every local can point to at least one member of the family on a list of 340 names. Aleksandrovo, along with other volunteer settlements, was created as a result of the agrarian reform and colonisation after the First World War. The village is laid out as if with a ruler, its streets intersect at right angles, and in the centre there is a monument with three Orthodox arches and bas-reliefs of Serbian soldiers and volunteers, men of Banat and highlanders.
It is a kind of memorial complex, which also includes a bust of the king and a memorial plaque to the soldiers who fell in the Second World War.
Since some of the Serbian volunteers also held American citizenship at that time, representatives of that country's embassy visit the memorial and, on important dates, pay tribute to the heroes to whom both countries are indebted.
