Finland Finland photo - Cross of Liberty ribbon

[IrishGunner]

I am not sure, but I think this is a photo of either a Finnish officer with the ribbon for Cross of Liberty in his button-hole. I have no idea what the second ribbon may be...

I see only one ribbon - the Cross of Liberty. And yes it´s a finnish officer

Thanks Hans! Do you know the rank and time period?

Thanks Hans! Do you know the rank and time period?

A qualified guess regarding the time period is mid 20´s since he seems to be wearing a m/22 tunic with 2nd lieutenant jager battalion shoulder boards. What´s so exceptional is how he wears the ribbon for the Cross of Liberty - this is the war time issued way before they got the crosses made and awarded
