This monument, situated in the cemetery in Audru, was designed by artist Erich Leps. It was unveiled on 2 July 1939. The monument was demolished in spring 1945. The base of the monument remained intact, while the blocks of the obelisk were thrown in the Audru River.

The monument was unveiled anew on 2 July 1989. The monument is made of dolomite, with the names of 58 people who fell in World War I and 46 in the War of Independence engraved on the rear side.
