Ok, so you make some cooperation with the Finnish search parties? The Finnish authorities are still interested to collect any discovered information concerning about the missing Finnish soldiers in war.chetlanen wrote:have left in finland

Nice photos. Allthough I think Finns are carrying absolutely too much gear in your photos. Finns didn't usually carry field spades etc. and helmets weren't always popular. Of course some soldiers did carry lots of gear, but according to veterans and real photos, Finn soldiers usually carried only following items: breadbag, mess kit, canteen, belt (I think that brown belt with simple one-prong buckle was more common than M/22 lion buckled belt), puukko knife, backbag and ammo pouch (usually only one carried, of course if person carried rifle). And of course weapon and clothes. Many used M/36 field cap instead of helmet, though helmet was handy in combat. Correct me if I made mistakes.
Y-straps weren't common in regular infantry. Those were mainly for light troops or cavalry, and even they didn't always use them. Did I saw a lotta with rifle in one picture? Lotta's didnt carry a weapon (there were very few expections). Also, I saw a german Mauser 98K in few pics. Those weren't common in Finland. Oh and uniforms are waaaayyyy too clean to present combat-seen troops
Still great pics!
