Monument to the War of Independence in Pornuse

The memorial of Halliste parish to its men killed in the War of Independence stands in Pornuse village in the Mulgi country. It was unveiled on 29 October 1933 and blown up by the Soviet authorities in 1945. It was first reopened on 24 June 1991, but without the obelisk that had crowned the original. Later the community decided that the obelisk should return as well, and the completed monument was unveiled a second time on 17 August 1996.

Eesti keeles

Halliste kihelkonna mälestussammas Vabadussõjas langenud meestele seisab Mulgimaal Pornuse külas. See avati 29. oktoobril 1933 ja nõukogude võim õhkis selle 1945. aastal. Esimest korda taasavati sammas 24. juunil 1991, kuid ilma obeliskita, mis oli algset sammast kroonimas. Hiljem otsustati ka obelisk tagasi panna ning täielik sammas avati teist korda 17. augustil 1996.
