The Brothers' Cemetery of Latvian soldiers who fell in the defense of Bauska against the Soviet occupation in 1944 in the Butki cemetery, Codes parish
Memorial site

The memorial site at the Butki cemetery was established after the Bauska branch of the Environmental Protection Club cleaned up the graves of approximately 30 Latvian soldiers who fell in the battles for the defense of Bauska in 1944, buried in two columns, in the autumn of 1988, and decided to erect a monument. A collection of donations followed for the construction of the monument. The monument made of red granite, dedicated to the soldiers of the Bauska Volunteer Battalion buried here, was unveiled on 25 November 1989, but already on the night of 4/5 December 1990, it was blown up by the USSR occupation army. In 1992, a massive wooden cross was erected in place of the monument. On 13 October 2002, a new granite monument, similar to the previously destroyed monument, was unveiled with the text engraved on it: “For the Freedom of Latvia Those Who Fell in 1944”.
