On 4.05.1863, a battle took place between an approximately 120-man Polish detachment and the many times stronger Tsarist army. Colonel Ludwik Narbutt (commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania), who was carried out of the battlefield by his comrades, was mortally wounded by a second bullet. Thirteen insurgents were killed in the battle, while 25 were wounded and taken prisoner. The rest, following the colonel's earlier order, slipped out of the encirclement. The peasants collected the bodies from the battlefield and transported them to the church in Dubicze, where a funeral with a memorial service took place on 6.05.1863, with the permission of the Vilnius Governor-General Nazimov. 13 coffins were laid to rest in a common grave. Soon, on the orders of the new Vilnius Governor Muraviev, the insurgents' grave was destroyed, but the site was secretly marked with a stone by the family of Leon Kraiński, who was buried here. After Poland regained independence, a committee was formed in Lida to commemorate Narbutt and his comrades, under the patronage of Marshal E. Rydz-Smigly. The stone laid by the Kraińskis was set into the base of a new monument, built on the insurgents' grave. The unveiling ceremony of the monument, attended by Marshal E. Rydz-Śmigły, took place on 6.08.1933. On the front side of the monument there is a brass relief in the shape of a cross, in the upper part interlaced with a crown of thorns, in the lower part with the coats of arms of Poland, Lithuania and Ruthenia. Below it is a plaque with the inscription: "1863, For Our Freedom and Yours". On the side walls are plaques with the inscriptions: "Fallen on 4 May 1863. buried in a common grave in the battle of Dubicze, here lie heroic insurgents / Narbutt Ludwik - Commander-in-Chief of the National Uprising in Lithuania, Brzozowski Aleksander dr, Brzozowski Franciszek, Gremza Kazimierz, Hubarewicz Stefan, Jodko Stanisław, Kraiński Leon - adjutant, Pokempinowicz Józef, Popławski Włodzimierz, Skirmunt Tomasz, Taraszewicz Stanisław, Żukowski Władysław, Adam X Unknown" [first side wall] "Remembering you, who rest in this fraternal grave, once torn from the face of the earth by the enemy, the citizens of Lida region in the year of our Lord 1918 undertook the testament of history, again raising the flag of national uprising, creating Lida self-defence, from which the present 76th Lida Rifle Regiment was formed. In the ranks of the army of the Republic of Poland, which was led to glorious victories in the years 1918, 1919 and 1920 by the great commander-in-chief JÓZEF PIŁSUDSKI, the Lida Regiment, holding high your banner, was marking abundantly on the battlefields with the blood of the best soldiers its loyalty and honour for the slogans inscribed on this your banner. Standing at attention before this monument of your glory and sacrifice, the soldiers of the Lida Regiment solemnly swear to regard your soldierly work as the most perfect example of service and love of the Homeland, and to regard your commander, LUDWIK NARBUTT, as the Regiment's Chief and Patron forever. 6TH VIII. 1933". [second side wall]. A zinc plaque with an inscription in Lithuanian and Russian was placed on the wall surrounding the monument from the front: [transl: "Here were buried insurgents, fallen on 4 May 1863 in a clash near Dubichi, among them one of the first leaders of the 1863 uprising in Lithuania, Ludwik Narbutt"]. Next to it is a second plaque, granite, now illegible. In 2005, the restoration of the monument was carried out by the Council for the Protection of Struggle and Martyrdom Remembrance. Further restoration work was carried out in 2022, financed by the Lithuanian authorities.On 4.05.1863 a battle took place between a Polish detachment of about 120 men and the many times stronger Tsarist army.
