It was unveiled in 2020 in memory of the most famous Forest Brother from Saaremaa, Elmar Ilp, and his cohorts.
Ilp was a thorn in the side of the Soviet authorities from 1944 until 12 August 1950, and even intimidated the locals. The names Redese Toomson, Feliks Vahter, Aleksander Tuuling and most famous of all Elmar Ilp are inscribed on the monument, which is located in the centre of Luulupe and adorned with the symbols of the cohorts, who were known as The Flying Death.
