 Mazsalaca, Valmieras nov., Latvija
151

Located on the bank of the river Salaca, near the cemetery, Upes Street 3a.

The cemetery was consecrated for the first time in June 1927. In the spring of 1936, at the suggestion of the local guard organization, a cemetery hill was created, where two unknown Estonian soldiers were reburied. The cemetery was consecrated on August 16, 1936. During both the German and Soviet occupation, the cemetery stood abandoned, surrounded by linden trees.

The Estonian Ministry of Defense, in co-operation with the Latvian Ministry of Defense and the Brothers' Cemetery Committee, accepted the Latvian side's proposal to concentrate all individual burials of fallen Estonian soldiers in Mazsalaca, where an ensemble of 2 Estonian soldiers had already been formed after the Freedom Fights.

On June 18, 2013, the monument to the Brothers' Cemetery of Estonian soldiers killed in the Latvian War of Liberation was unveiled on this cemetery hill. The monument was made of Saaremaa dolomite by the Estonian company Dolokivi OÜ after SIA Arhitektu birojs Vecumnieks & Bērziņi. The Minister of Defense of Estonia Urmas Reinsalu and the Minister of Defense of Latvia Artis Pabriks participated in the opening.
On November 11, 2015, 10 new reburials of unknown soldiers who died in the War of Independence were consecrated.

Cėsių mūšio pradžia, eiga ir pabaiga

Pergalei Cėsių mūšyje buvo lemta tapti lūžiu latvių ir estų kovoje už savo šalies nepriklausomybę. Ši pergalė padarė tašką Andrievo Niedros vyriausybės ir vokiečių generolo Rüdigerio von der Goltzo planams užkariauti Baltijos šalis. Vietoj to Liepojoje savo veiklą atnaujino Laikinoji Latvijos vyriausybė, vadovaujama Kārlio Ulmanio.
