Monument to the War of Independence in Saduküla
Memorial site
146
This monument is situated near the school in Saduküla, 15 km from Jõgeva.
Commissioned by the Härjanurme Company of the Defence League, it marks the point to which the Red Army had advanced by 1919. It was unveiled on 6 July 1930. The monument was dismantled after World War II and the text on it removed by a blacksmith. All of the pieces survived, and the restored monument was unveiled anew on 24 June 1989 thanks to the efforts of local Defence League members.
The tapered plinth supporting the obelisk reads: "Here in January 1919 the bravery of the Estonian people told the red wave pouring in from the east: This far and no further."
