Monument to the War of Independence in Rakvere
Rakvere's War of Independence memorial on Lai street was made from models by Amandus Adamson; its bronze figures, about two metres tall, were cast in Italy and set on a six-stepped concrete base, the whole rising over 8.5 metres. Oskar Luiga unveiled it on 30 August 1925, with Metropolitan Aleksander leading the service. In autumn 1940 the Soviet authorities destroyed it, and in the 1960s a children's playground was built on the spot, though the surrounding park survived. A copy by the sculptor Lembit Palm and architect Kuno Raude was unveiled on 30 August 1992, exactly 67 years after the original.

Rakvere Lai tänava Vabadussõja mälestussammas valmistati Amandus Adamsoni mudelite järgi; umbes kahemeetrised pronkskujud valati Itaalias ja paigutati kuuejärgulisele betoonalusele, nii et kogu sammas oli üle 8,5 meetri kõrge. Oskar Luiga avas selle 30. augustil 1925, vaimuliku talituse pidas metropoliit Aleksander. 1940. aasta sügisel hävitas nõukogude võim samba ja 1960. aastatel rajati selle kohale laste mänguväljak, kuid ümbritsev park säilis. Kujur Lembit Palmi ja arhitekt Kuno Raude koopia avati 30. augustil 1992 – täpselt 67 aastat pärast algset.
