I love it!! Valor in rescuing his comrades from the field! Better than a medical citation! I wonder what he did to get his Badge of Honor in 1945! It is a shame that the civil orders cannot be researched!

[Guest Rick Research]

I've never seen CIVILIAN employment included on a military service record this way-- you lucked out there.

I do not see anyplace that gives the DATE that his local Veterans' Commissariat reported him as deceased.

"White Finns" here refers to his participation in the 1939-40 "Winter War."

Does that mean that he would most likely have some Finnish decorations?
