The battles of Cēsis were one of the decisive battles in the War of Independence of Latvia. The battles took place in June 1919 between units of the Estonian army and the 2nd Latvian Infantry Regiment of the Northern Latvian Brigade in the one hand and the Baltic Landeswehr and the Iron Division on the other.
From the students of Cēsis and Valmiera schools, a group of students of the Cēsis Regiment was created to supply the only 300 soldiers strong 2nd Cēsis Regiment before the above mentioned Estonian & Latvian troops managed to reach Cēsis.
