Monument to the War of Independence in Alatskivi
The War of Independence memorial in Alatskivi cemetery, near the shore of Lake Peipus, was designed by Voldemar Mellik and unveiled on 26 August 1928. In November 1940 it was damaged, but during the German occupation it was put back and reopened on 26 July 1942. In 1948 the memorial simply disappeared. A new soldier for it was made by the sculptor Endel Taniloo, and the monument was reopened on 24 June 1991, just weeks before Estonia restored its independence.

Eesti keeles
Peipsi lähedal Alatskivi kalmistul asuva Vabadussõja mälestussamba kavandas Voldemar Mellik ja see avati 26. augustil 1928. 1940. aasta novembris sammast lõhuti, kuid Saksa okupatsiooni ajal pandi see tagasi ja avati uuesti 26. juulil 1942. 1948. aastal sammas lihtsalt kadus. Uue sõduri valmistas skulptor Endel Taniloo ning sammas taasavati 24. juunil 1991, vaid mõni nädal enne Eesti iseseisvuse taastamist.
