Stanisław Rouppert, Head of the wellness Service Department of the Ministry of Military Affairs.
The plan of a monument commemorating doctors who died in battles for regaining independency was performed by 1 of the most prominent sculptors of the time by Edward Wittig, prof. of the Cracow Academy of Fine Arts, author of the Warsaw monument of Lotnik. The artist designed a monument depicting an orderly in a military uniform supporting the arms of an injured soldier. Unfortunately, the outbreak of planet War II interrupted work on obelisk and the monument was not created.
