Joosep Parktali mälestuskivi (sünnikohas)

Vanaküla War of Independence memorial

At Vanaküla in Kuusalu parish a memorial stone stands at the birthplace of Lieutenant Joosep Parktal, who fell in the War of Independence. It was unveiled on 20 August 1939. Through the Soviet years the stone itself stayed in place, quiet and unremarkable, because the plaque that explained it had been hidden away. On 21 July 1990 the stone was reopened with the plaque put back.

Kuusalu vallas Vanakülas seisab mälestuskivi Vabadussõjas langenud leitnant Joosep Parktali sünnikohas. See avati 20. augustil 1939. Nõukogude ajal püsis kivi ise oma kohal, vaikne ja tähelepandamatu, sest seda selgitav tahvel oli ära peidetud. 21. juulil 1990 avati kivi uuesti koos tagasi pandud tahvliga.
