battle of Valkla monument

In Valkla village on the coast of Kuusalu parish a memorial remembers the men who fell in the battle of Valkla in the War of Independence. The first monument was unveiled on 23 June 1934, on Victory Day, and was blown up in June 1941, during the first Soviet occupation. On 10 August 1989 a new memorial was unveiled on the spot, carrying the same words as the original.

Kuusalu rannikul Valkla külas meenutab mälestussammas Vabadussõja Valkla lahingus langenud mehi. Esimene sammas avati võidupühal, 23. juunil 1934, ja õhiti 1941. aasta juunis, esimese nõukogude okupatsiooni ajal. 10. augustil 1989 avati samas kohas uus mälestussammas, millel on sama tekst mis algsel.
