In 1934, a memorial stone to the fallen soldiers of the 1st (4th) Valmiera Infantry Regiment was unveiled in Gulbene Old Cemetery in Jāņkalniņa.
Monument and burial place for the soldiers of the 1st (4th) Valmiera Infantry Regiment, who fell in May 1919, liberating Vecgulbene from the Bolsheviks - in the Old Cemetery in Jāņkalniņa. 1934 under the care of the Gulbene guards, a monument was erected, which miraculously (probably due to its deep growth in bushes and weeds) remained undamaged throughout the Soviet era.

Good afternoon! We would like to recommend that this information be placed in a memorial place in Jāņkalniņi. To my surprise, I only discovered this place last weekend. I, and some other visitors to the memorial, had a question about the inscription in 1934. May 31. So no one could remember reading about any important events on this date. With respect and trust that you will consider the suggestion.
