Yes , Otto Zethelius was the founder of " Blå Stjärnan 1917" so he was connected to the nurses in Tammerfors I will have to try and read more about this group 👍 Christer

And here is a photo of Major Zethelius He was Maj iR 1926 and he also got KSO and KVO (Sword order and Vasa Order)

Quite unusual with only 140 awarded in 1918 This on awarded to the Swedish Major Fredrik Otto Zethelius for his work with horses in Tammerfors 1918

Another one without id , on the back on one medal it says E.T But that the only clue ....

My latest in the collection, one is Deschler and the other Leser ( I think) Chy

This seems to be a non fighter, with seven awards . I suppose the Mecklenburg could be of the nf variant , but still impossible to trace I guess... Anyone know what regiment the last medal is for ?

Hi , just got this one , a Liberty Cross 4th class wo swords 1939 ? medal for Winter War 39/40 , medal for war 41/44 , Austrian Decoration of honour in Gold, French Legion of Honour Officer, Sweden North Star Commander. I tried to find the guy through the Northern Star Commander Order , I have the names of 78 Finnish recipients , but no match so far The search goes on

Here is a new miniature chain , a noncombattant in 1864 war but fought in 1870/71 war and then a 1897 medal. What do you think is missing ? Some award from another country 🤔

This is an quite interesting chain of miniatures , First he was in The Independence War 1918 , i guess not as an officer because no Liberty Cross , But Medal 2nd class 1918 and commerative medal with Rose and two battle bars He also has the Helsinki commerative Medal 1918-1938 so probably he was in the fight for the Capital. He joined the Civil Guard and got the Merit Medal , he also has the Blue Cross with Bar 1917-1918 fpr servid during the war. Then he got the com medal for the Winter War 1939-1940 so in some way he was in this war too. But last but not least he was in the 8th Division during the continuation war 1941-1944 , he also got the Pro Benignitate Humana , about 4500 medals was given to foreigners for helping Finland during the 1941-45 wars, but only about 800 to Finnish people. I wonder who he was , to bad he is not possible to identify ....

Sharper Pic of the last one

A seven medal mini bar with someone from Stockholm who helped Finland in some way during second World War ( last medal) And a Six medal bar , with medals from the Swedish Homeguard and a Sword Order Another five medals bar , no possible to id like most of theese with common medals This is a little more interesting , both the Order of North Star and the Finnish White Rose is made of gold . Probably to little to id , but still nice Last one for today is also interesting , belonging to a member of Royal Court , some low grade servant.

The man in the right is Alfred Kehrer , on of the lucky U-Boat men who survived. Photo taken sept 15 1945 in a pow camp in USA. Alfred was ombord U-971 when the sub was sunk in English Channel June 24 1944. U-971 was a type VIIC launched feb 1943, had only one patrol, June 1944...

Finlands Frihetskrig , I think its vol 7 or 8 christer

Here is Franz Cohnitz , the man on the far left ( no 1) Not very good pic , but I will see if I can find a better one Christer

Dr Friedrich Börgermann Mar Ob Ass Arzt. The photo is taken in April 1939 , when he belonged to 1-R Flotiile , later he was ombord U-860 when she was sunk on her first patrol 1944. There was 20 survivors, Dr Börgermann wasnt one of them….

This is a quite interesting small ribbon bar , belonging to an Austrian who participated in WW1 and got a Red Cross award and then was in Finland 1939/40 What I know of there was only two Austrians in Finland as Volunteers in Finnish Winter War but he could of course been there as Doctor or Medic of some kind.

I have a Feldpost letter posten in Memel April 1942, by a Kapitänleutnant with a name of ? von Bischotti ? Or ? the Feldpostnumber is M03184 but on the front i looks like M06121 ? I Know that it was a Uboat base in Memel , but of course he could have been anything in Kriegsmarine.

Have this photo in my collection, could anyone tell of its a Gotha 242 Glider ? Must be quite unusual , I haven’t found another ?
