Monument to the War of Independence in Sõmerpalu

At Osula in Võru County, outside the school, a memorial plaque honours the men of Sõmerpalu parish who fell in the First World War and the War of Independence. It was first unveiled on 2 October 1932 in the school hall, taken down in 1940, put back in August 1942, and in 1944 hidden again by local schoolteachers. It returned to the hall on 24 February 1989. Because it could not go back to its old place on the wall, it was mounted on a stone in front of the school and unveiled there on 26 May 1990.

Eesti keeles

Võrumaal Osulas koolimaja ees austab mälestustahvel Esimeses maailmasõjas ja Vabadussõjas langenud Sõmerpalu valla mehi. Esimest korda avati see 2. oktoobril 1932 koolimaja saalis, 1940. aastal võeti maha, 1942. aasta augustis pandi tagasi ja 1944. aastal peitsid kohalikud kooliõpetajad selle uuesti. Saali naasis tahvel 24. veebruaril 1989. Kuna endisele kohale seinale seda panna ei saanud, paigaldati tahvel koolimaja ette kivile ja avati seal 26. mail 1990.
