battle of Reola monument

In Tõõraste village near Tartu a monument addresses the passer-by directly: 'Citizen! Here, on the fields of Reola, we broke the enemy's superior force on 16–17 January 1919.' The memorial was unveiled on 3 July 1932. After the Second World War it was taken down and buried in the ground, which is how it survived; it was reopened on 27 November 1988.

Eesti keeles

Tartu lähedal Tõõraste külas pöördub mälestussammas otse mööduja poole: „Kodanik! Siin, Reola väljadel murdsime vaenlase ülivõimu 16.–17. jaan 1919.” Sammas avati 3. juulil 1932. Pärast Teist maailmasõda võeti see maha ja maeti maa alla, tänu millele see säilis; sammas taasavati 27. novembril 1988.
