Located on the outer ring of the main traffic circle in town, in front of a school and next to a bus stop.

A granite monument about 8 feet tall with two black polished tables on its face. A chain hangs in from of the monument about 6 inches off the ground held by two small pedestals. The top tablet lists the location in Italy where the 339^thInfantry fought during the war; the lower tablet commemorates the Gustav Line breakthrough in May 1944. The top tablet is inscribed with a Polar Bear over an image of Italy with the Division symbol (85^thInfantry Division- “Custer Division”) and the campaigns the unit fought in during the war. (Note:  The unit is called the Polar Bears due to the Regiment's service in Russia during and after the first World War). According to the Custer Division website "the monument was dedicated in September 1992 by members of the Polar Bear Association of World War II and accepted by the mayor of Tremensuoli as a memorial of friendship and ties with the American liberators who came and died around their village in 1944". 

The location of the monument is significant as Tremensuoli marks the jump-off location for the 339^thInfantry and Regimental Combat team attack on the Gustav Line as part of Operation Diadem on May 11, 1944.  Operation Diadem or the 4^thBattle of Cassino, was a full- scale attack to breach the Gustav line along a twenty-mile front.  The 339^th, as part of the 85^thDivision, II Corps, attacked the most western portion of the line breaching the line in a tough fight and continued driving north along the coast towards Rome.
