Monument to the War of Independence in Priimetsa cemetery
Memorial site

This monument was unveiled in this cemetery in Valga on 11 October 1925. It is found on one of the largest burial sites of the fallen in the War of Independence and is the final resting place for over 300 men. Alas, not all those buried were identified, so the monument bears just 154 names. The monument nevertheless mentions the 152 who were unable to be identified. The monument was knocked down in September 1940 but returned to its upright position in July 1941. After World War II the monument was toppled again and then buried.

It was unveiled anew in the same location on 27 November 1988, restored from its original parts. The monument is modest in design. It comprises a stepped base surmounted by an obelisk. The material used is grey granite.
