Monument to the War of Independence in Kilingi-Nõmme
Memorial site

This monument in the town of Kilingi-Nõmme was unveiled on 5 June 1933. A statue of a soldier, it was made by sculptor Anton Starkopf and based on Lembito Hansberg, the secretary of the Kilingi-Nõmme Fire Brigade and a War of Independence veteran.

The monument was blown in the early hours of 13 August 1945. It was unveiled anew on 24 June 2008. It commemorates those fallen in both World War I and the War of Independence. It is noteworthy that the bronze soldier is wearing a British-style uniform and helmet. This is indicative of the wide range of supplies used during the War of Independence due to the foreign aid provided.
