This monument is situated 200 m from the Tartu-Jõhvi road in the small borough of Lohusuu. It comprises an obelisk on a four-step base. The front of the obelisk reads: "This blood-anointed land where my brother met his end till the last of my days shall I strive to defend! The Battle of Lohusuu of the War of Independence 14 December 1918.” To the back of the obelisk is appended the text: “Unveiled on 26 July 1931. Destroyed in 1940. Unveiled anew on 23 June 1990.”
The monument, unveiled on 26 July 1931, was dedicated to those who fell in the Battle of Lohusuu in the War of Independence. The Soviet regime had it taken down and the obelisk was repurposed as part of the monument to the Great Patriotic War in Avinurme. The monument was restored as a copy and unveiled anew on 23 June 1990.
