This monument is situated on the banks of Lake Pangodi in the State Forest Management Centre recreational area in the village of the same name.
Designed by Voldemar Rätsep, it was unveiled on 23 June 1934. The obelisk-shaped monument was made from fieldstones with a cross-potent at the top. The tablets on the monument were removed in 1940 and the monument itself was taken apart in 1949 and 1950. The restored copy was unveiled anew on 23 June 1990, the granite tablets mounted on it being the original ones. The tablet on the front of the monument reads: "To those who fell in the name of freedom 1918-1920", followed by eight names and ‘Kodijärve municipality’. The tablet on the rear reads: "A noble endeavour will forever shine throughout the ebb and flow of time" and is adorned with a depiction of an oak wreath and crossed swords. In 1996, the original cross was recovered from Lake Pangodi.
The tablets are original.
