Description:
Very little has been said about "The Volunteers", a band of british people from every walk of life who volunteered to fight the Russians following their invasion of Finland. This book is a captivating read that goes into detail with soldiers, airmen, ambulance personnel and firemen, and with the tragi-comi incidents which followed their demobilization after the end of the Winter War in March 1940 and which only ended when the last one was repatriated late in 1942. Much of the information given has been obtained by special permission from official Finnish and Swedish archives and is now in print for the first time. Book includes copies of photographs taken during this time (1939 - 1941). Condition: This book has never been read and stored for many years. The book shows no signs of wear. Please see photos
