Apie Latvijos nepriklausomybės karą ir 1918 metų įvykius Alūksnėje
1918 m., vokiečių kariuomenei įžengus į Alūksnę, latvių šaulių batalionai pasitraukė į Sovietų Rusiją. Iki 1918 m. gruodžio pradžios įsitvirtino vokiškas režimas ir buvo vykdomos pertvarkos. Vokietijai pasidavus kare, bolševikai grįžo į Alūksnę ir atkūrė savo valdžią. Suomijos savanoriai taip pat kovojo Latvijos nepriklausomybės kare kaip Estijos kariuomenės dalis. 1919 m. vasario 21 d. Alūksnėje, prie stoties, vyko įnirtingos kautynės tarp bolševikų ir suomių savanorių pulko „Šiaurės berniukai“.
„1918 metų rudenį vokiečiai paskubomis pasitraukė iš Alūksnės, nes Vokietijoje taip pat kilo revoliucija. Alūksnėje vėl iškilo sovietų valdžia. Vokiečiai Bremžu gatvėje esančioje parduotuvėje paliko daug alkoholinių gėrimų butelių. Raudonieji šauliai nešė butelius į kiemą ir daužė ant akmenų, iš kurių dažniausiai buvo iškepti kiaušiniai, čebakonai kvapniai tekėjo čiuožykla Vidus gatvėje.
Vykdomasis komitetas buvo įsikūręs Alūksnės pilyje. „Kaip vadovaujančius darbuotojus prisimenu Žilį, Samsoną, Egli, Dipaną Ernestą ir milicijos viršininką Bukaną Augustą.
“One evening in February 1919, rifle and machine gun fire could be heard, heralding the approach of the front. In Alūksne, at 11 Alsviķu Street, in a small house on a hill, living in a small room, our mother, sister and I watched all the events in the house. During the night, the sound of shooting got closer and closer. The next morning, cannon shells were already howling over our hut and exploding in the meadow behind the bathhouse. The snow turned black in the explosion holes. In the afternoon, armed Finnish White Guards came down Alsviķu Street. In white winter hats and brown winter boots with their muzzles turned up. Having entered our poor room, they looked around and left. Terror began in Alūksne. (..) A terrible sight opened up on the station hill. There were many fallen people all around in the snow, some even sons of Chinese nationality. (..) A damaged armored train was located at Alūksne station. (..) A few days later, the Baltos carried the fallen heroes piled on sledges to the Alūksne Castle square, where they were buried without coffins in two long common pits. (..) Vykdomasis komitetas evakuotas iš Alūksnės pilies. „Alūksnę paliko ir Raudonosios armijos daliniai“.
