This monument is located by the Jõgeva-Mustvee road near the small borough of Torma.
Commissioned by the head of the Defence League’s Torma regional unit Leopold Kraus, it was unveiled on 27 July 1930. It was destroyed on 26 October 1948 and its parts buried. On 14 July 1988 the parts were recovered and used to restore the monument, which was unveiled anew on 15 October that year. Some of the original parts lie near the current monument.
