The Estonian War of Independence

In addition, there is Aleksander Veiderma (point to the noticeable man in the middle of the picture), who was the chief of the unit for teachers and the head of the government of schools in Tallinn at that time, later the minister of education and the headmaster of the Tallinn's School of Commerce and Trade for Girls. During the War of Independence, seven of our schoolboys died: Heinrich Vellmann, Gunnar Ambrosius, Hugo Läänemets, Artur Viikmann, Hans Püss, Raoul Kallismaa, Nikolai Reinok (show the list of the pupils and the teachers who went to war behind the glass coverage). There is a marble plaque dedicated to those seven boys in our school assembly hall, which was ceremonially opened on the 4 th anniversary of the War of Independence in 1922. (point to the picture of that plaque) Many of those who returned from the war were honoured with war decorations and all of them were granted with free education until their graduation from university.
