Petsamo 1918,Finnish and British forces clash.

Hello,

just been looking at a book "Hitlers arctic war" by Chris Mann , which briefly mentions that the Finns clashed with

British forces in and around Petsamo 1918.

Was it just skirmishing to control this town or serious battles ?

The Finnish Petsamo Expedition encountered the British forces landed by HMS Cochrane. See 1918 Petsamo Expedition (Heimosodat) / Petsamo in Winter War.
