Hi,

Thanks for that photo, however I think it's a prewar one, and the men there might be of Suojeluskunta /Civil Guard?

Regards, Juha

Thank you for that information, Juha, my knowledge of the subject is unfortunately quite meager.
Cheers,

Correct, they seem to be wearing Civil Guard summer uniform m/29, so the photo is pre-war one.
