This monument is situated in the New Cemetery in Palamuse.
Designed by Anton Starkopf, it was unveiled on 29 May 1924. The granite obelisk was mounted on a three-step base with the names of 25 people killed in World War I and 32 in the War of Independence engraved along the bottom. The Soviet regime had it demolished in 1952. The new monument, unveiled on 29 May 1994, is an exact copy of the original, fashioned by Paul Uibopuu.
