Rannu battle memorial
Rannu lahingu mälestussammas
In front of the school at Rannu village in Viru County stood a memorial to those who fell in the battle of Rannu in the War of Independence. Its unveiling on 4 May 1930 drew Generals Aleksander Tõnisson, Johannes Roska and Ernst Põdder, and the cover was removed by Aleksander Seiman, who had commanded in the battle. The memorial was destroyed in 1940. On 24 June 2004 the Alutaguse unit of the Defence League reopened it, but a little away from the original spot, because the Tallinn–Narva highway now runs over the old site.

Eesti keeles
Virumaal Rannu küla kooli ees seisis mälestussammas Vabadussõja Rannu lahingus langenutele. Selle avamisele 4. mail 1930 tulid kindralid Aleksander Tõnisson, Johannes Roska ja Ernst Põdder ning katte eemaldas lahingut juhtinud Aleksander Seiman. Sammas hävitati 1940. aastal. 24. juunil 2004 avas Kaitseliidu Alutaguse malev selle uuesti, kuid esialgsest kohast veidi eemal, sest vana asupaiga kohal kulgeb nüüd Tallinna–Narva maantee.
