shelter

Finnish soldiers on their way to a counter-attack near Viipuri/Vyborg, Karelian Isthmus. July 1, 1944.

Going to counter-attack

4th Squadron of Uusimaa Dragoon Regiment has left Ravansaari Island (today Malyj Vysotsky) after 5 days of fighting, and retreated to the mainland. Battle of Vyborg Bay, July 4, 1944.

Many of the men in the picture don't have much clothes on because atleast half of the squadron had to swim the few kilometers to the mainland under enemy fire. The man carrying submachine gun on the left is the squadron's leader Lieutenant Make Hanström, and next to him is his combat messenger, dragoon Paul Junkkari, just recently turned 20. Later, in the Battle of Ilomantsi, Hanström lost his leg and Junkkari was killed in action.
