Hmm...

Was the rebellion attempt almost one and a half years later already being prepared by some of the marching peasants?

Looks as if some were wearing Laplander boots, but I cannot see anything matching the clues in Finnish history .....

Hi Iffig,

You have the country nailed down. Just remember the occasional correlation between peasant marches and rebellions. Also the M/27 tunics visible point to a date slightly later than '27.

Lapua inspired "peasant march" to Helsinki in 1930?

You are so close iffig.
Your answer covers the first photo, but not the second, where the bloodles and unsuccessful rebellion is on the way...
Read your Wiki more carefully! :D
