The memorial in Tudulinna cemetery, in the forested north of Lake Peipus, honours the men of the area who fell in the War of Independence. It was made by the sculptor Voldemar Melnik (Mellik) and unveiled on 16 September 1923. On 14 October 1940, only months into the Soviet occupation, it was smashed. Half a century later, on 6 October 1990, a new monument closely copying the original was unveiled on the same spot.

Eesti keeles

Peipsi põhjakalda metsade vahel Tudulinna kalmistul asuv mälestussammas on pühendatud selle kandi meestele, kes langesid Vabadussõjas. Samba autor oli kujur Voldemar Melnik (Mellik) ja see avati 16. septembril 1923. 14. oktoobril 1940, vaid mõni kuu pärast nõukogude okupatsiooni algust, sammas lõhuti. Pool sajandit hiljem, 6. oktoobril 1990, avati samas kohas uus, algset lähedalt jäljendav sammas.
