Located in Bertulis cemetery.
A monument to the soldiers who died in the Latvian War of Independence can be seen.
Discovered on August 4, 1934. The monument was designed by Teodors Šķiņķis and Luda Švalbe.
In front of the monument, which symbolizes the triumph of victory, there is a bronze sword, an oak leaf wreath and four stars (earrings), which symbolize four historical regions of Latvia - Vidzeme, Kurzeme, Zemgale and Latgale.
On the other side, which symbolizes the path of past suffering, a bronze cross is attached to the obelisk, which was originally wrapped in a wreath of barbed wire. The barbed wire used for the wreath was brought from Death Island.
The monument was restored in the summer of 1989 and all bronze details were remade.

Šiaurės Latvijos kariuomenės įkūrimo Rūjienos pusėje fragmentas
Šiaurės Latvijos armija buvo Latvijos karinė formacija Latvijos nepriklausomybės karo metu, kuri buvo suformuota 1919 m. vasario 3 d. – kovo 31 d. Estijos teritorijoje ir Estijos kariuomenės išlaisvintuose šiauriniuose Vidžemės regionuose. Iki 1919 metų liepos brigada logistikos ir operacijų atžvilgiu buvo pavaldi Estijos ginkluotųjų pajėgų štabui ir Estijos kariuomenės vyriausiajam vadui. Tada ji buvo sujungta su Pietų Latvijos brigada ir suformuota Latvijos armija.
I would like to know the sources for citing the involvement of Teodors Šķiņķis and Luda Švalbe in creating this memorial. Because I cannot find reference online to the name 'Luda' or 'Luds' as a Latvian name, I wonder if it perhaps has been transcribed incorrectly.
