Light infantry ready to move. The text "Kivennapa k.k." in this photo likely tells the place it was taken. "Kivennapa kansakoulu" aka "elementary school in town of Kivennapa (in Karelian Isthmus)" - Jarkko V. |
Wartime pictures of light infantry.
The text "JR 49 Navalla" translates as "Infantry
Regiment 49 in Napa". "Napa" being likely the nickname of Kivennapa.
- Jarkko V. |
Light infantry on the march. Notice the bicycles in these pictures. The text "Valtausjoukot Kivennavalla" translates as "Troops capturing Kivennapa". - Jarkko V. |
