At Pagari village in the forests of Alutaguse a memorial honours those who fell in the battle of Pagari in the War of Independence. It was unveiled on Victory Day, 23 June 1939, shortly before the Second World War. It stood for only five years: in October 1944, as Soviet rule returned, it was destroyed. It was reopened on 23 June 1990, again on Victory Day.

Alutaguse metsade vahel Pagari külas austab mälestussammas Vabadussõja Pagari lahingus langenuid. See avati võidupühal, 23. juunil 1939, vahetult enne Teist maailmasõda. Sammas seisis vaid viis aastat: 1944. aasta oktoobris, nõukogude võimu naastes, see hävitati. Sammas taasavati 23. juunil 1990, jälle võidupühal.
