battle of Järve monument
In Kohtla-Järve's Järve district stands an exact copy of a memorial to the battle of Järve village on 16 January 1919, during the War of Independence. Under a Cross of Liberty and a wreath it lists ten men of the Kalevlaste Malev, a volunteer unit, who fell there. The original was unveiled on 11 September 1932. Communists smashed it on 29 October 1940; it was restored and reopened on 21 October 1942, then destroyed again in autumn 1944. The present copy was unveiled on 24 February 1993, the second time it had been brought back.

Kohtla-Järve Järve linnaosas seisab täpne koopia mälestussambast, mis meenutab Vabadussõja Järveküla lahingut 16. jaanuaril 1919. Vabadusristi ja pärja all on kirjas kümne Kalevlaste Maleva mehe nimed, kes seal langesid. Algne sammas avati 11. septembril 1932. Kommunistid purustasid selle 29. oktoobril 1940; see taastati ja avati uuesti 21. oktoobril 1942 ning hävitati taas 1944. aasta sügisel. Praegune koopia avati 24. veebruaril 1993 – juba teist korda tagasi toodud sammas.
