Monument to the War of Independence in Palamuse

In the new part of Palamuse cemetery, in the parish made famous by Oskar Luts's novel 'Spring', stands the memorial to local men who fell in the War of Independence. It was first unveiled on 29 May 1924 and survived longer than most, until 1952, when it was smashed. Exactly seventy years after the first unveiling, on 29 May 1994, an exact copy of the old monument was unveiled on the same spot.

Eesti keeles

Palamuse kalmistu uues osas, Oskar Lutsu „Kevadest” kuulsaks saanud kihelkonnas, seisab mälestussammas Vabadussõjas langenud kohalikele meestele. See avati esmakordselt 29. mail 1924 ja püsis kauem kui enamik teisi – kuni 1952. aastani, mil see lõhuti. Täpselt seitsekümmend aastat pärast esimest avamist, 29. mail 1994, avati samas kohas vana samba täpne koopia.
