Monument to the War of Independence in Puhja
Puhja's memorial to the men of the parish who fell in the War of Independence was unveiled on 5 July 1925. Around May 1950 it was apparently buried in the ground close to where it had stood, which saved it from being smashed. In 1988, during the national revival, the monument was dug up, cleaned and repaired, and on 20 August 1988 the original stones were unveiled again, three years before Estonia regained its independence on the same date.

Eesti keeles
Puhja kihelkonna Vabadussõjas langenud meeste mälestussammas avati 5. juulil 1925. Arvatavasti 1950. aasta mais maeti see oma asukoha lähedale maa alla, mis päästis selle purustamisest. 1988. aastal, rahvusliku ärkamise ajal, kaevati sammas välja, puhastati ja korrastati ning 20. augustil 1988 avati algsed kivid uuesti – kolm aastat enne seda, kui Eesti samal kuupäeval oma iseseisvuse taastas.
