Monument to the War of Independence in Kose

In Kose cemetery stands the memorial to the men of Kose parish who fell in the First World War and the War of Independence. It was unveiled on 5 July 1925. In 1941 it was smashed and the pieces were carted off and dumped in the Pirita river. In 1989 members of the Kose heritage society brought fragments back out of the river, and an identical memorial, built partly from the original stones, was unveiled on its old spot on 17 June 1989.

Kose kalmistul seisab mälestussammas Esimeses maailmasõjas ja Vabadussõjas langenud Kose kihelkonna meestele. See avati 5. juulil 1925. 1941. aastal sammas lõhuti ja tükid veeti Pirita jõkke. 1989. aastal tõid Kose Muinsuskaitse Seltsi liikmed killud jõest välja ning samasugune, osaliselt algsetest kividest laotud sammas avati vanas kohas 17. juunil 1989.
