1982.
Ispred Doma zdravlja Mostar na zapadnoj strani rijeke Neretve nalazi se skromna spomen česma. Ovaj mali spomenik, koji se u lokalnoj zajednici često naziva i “Spomenik ilegalcu”, uspomena je na ljude, zvane ilegalci, koji su živjeli u Mostaru za vrijeme Drugog svjetskog rata radeći normalne poslove, ali su tajno i ilegalno svoj rad usmjeravali prema partizanskom otporu. Fontana, koju je 1982. godine izradio vajar Sulejman Đapo, sastoji se od bazena širine 3-4 m iz kojeg viri betonska polusfera nalik poluotvorenoj ruci. Ovaj spomenik je bio izuzetno zapušten i oštećen i degradiran tokom rata u Bosni 1990-ih, a na slikama iz tog perioda se vidi cijela građevina izrešetana rupama od metaka, te da su joj ukradene spomen-ploče.
Nakon što je u takvom stanju ležala skoro dvije decenije, 2010. godine na inicijativu gradske uprave Mostara spomen-česma je u potpunosti obnovljena i sanirana. Čak su i Kod fontane su se nakon toga ponovo počele održavati komemorativne svečanosti. Tačne koordinate za ovu spomen česmu su N43°20'24.5”, E17°48'30.3”, tačno na uglu Kneza Mihajla Viševića Humskog i magistralnog puta M6.1 (Bulevara).

The “Hidden Hand” Memorial Fountain:
In front of the Mostar Health Center on the west side of the Neretva River is a modest memorial fountain. This small monument, which is often locally referred to as the “Hidden Hand”, commemorates the people known as “ilegalci”, who were those who lived in Mostar during WWII working normal jobs, but secretly and illegally funneled their income towards the Partisan resistance. The fountain, created in 1982 by sculptor Suleiman Đapo, consists of a 3-4m wide basin out of which protrudes a concrete claw-like semi-sphere. This monument was extremely neglected and degraded during the Bosnian War of the 1990s, with Slides 1 & 2 here showing the entire structure riddled with bullet holes, as well as having its memorial plaques stolen. After having sat in such a state for nearly two decades, in 2010 the memorial fountain was fully restored and rehabilitated (Slide 3) by the initiative of Mostar's city administration. Commemorative ceremonies have even begun to take place at the fountain again (Slide 4). The exact coordinates for this memorial fountain are N43°20'24.5”, E17°48'30.3”, right at the corner of Kneza Mihajla Viševića Humskog and highway M6.1.
