English term or phrase: Booth for honouring dead soldier
Greetings,

The author describes a booth covered all over with bilberry leaves (I don't know if bilberry leaves have a religious significance) set up at the corner of a Tehran street to honour a soldier killed in the Iran-Iraq war.

Possibly a bit like this, but I imagine it would be somewhat more elaborate:

The author explains that there were pictures of the dead soldier all over it. I think the Persian word used for such a soldier is شهید. Furthermore, there was a megaphone on the top of it broadcasting religious songs and تکبیرها performed on a cassette. A plate containing dates and other sweet things was set up in the booth, presumably on a table, and passers-by could help themselves.

By the way, is anyone able to find a picture of such a thing on the Internet, please? This would be most useful.

All the best, and many thanks,

حجله سرباز شهید
Explanation:
booth for honoring a dead person is simply called حجله. It is not just for martyrs or special people. They are mostly put for dead people for one or a few days. You can find dates to eat and a photo of the dead person there.

Sure!
There are Kasres after the first 2 words. It is
[Hejle -ye- Sarbaz -e- Shahid)

The first Kasre is "ye" instead of "e" because it is hard to pronounce /Hejle -e- .../

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you so much. In حجله سرباز شهید am I right in thinking that there are kasres after both the first and the second word?
