Acting major... Funny how he never got regurlar nominations, only acting ones.
He was Corporal in reserve, although!

Tauno Palo, mutta housut jäi!
It is getting more difficult to make a new question. If it's from SA-kuva, you are nailed at once!
So my next question takes a while to appear. Hah hah!

Re: The official AHF Winter & Continuation War quiz thread
Ok, a new one without SA-kuva, I presume.
Finnish war corresponders sent over 8 000 stories to be published during the Continuation War.
How meny of those were shelled or censored? You can give a prosentual or pieces estimate. You don't have to guess both.

Well better anyway!Juha Tompuri wrote:Hope everything is OK now.

The right answer is 14 %, so your last guess is close enough.
I admit that my question wasn't very good one.
Hope you compose a better one Juha!

Re: The official AHF Winter & Continuation War quiz thread
Although I answer so quickly, this wasn't a piece of cake.
My answer is SUSAN TRAVERS
Chevalier de la Légion d’hormeur
Médaille militaire
"When war came in 1939, Travers was living in the South of France, where she had grown up, and she joined the Croix Rouge, the French Red Cross. She had previously led the rather inconsequential life of a socialite, but the challenges that now faced her gave her a purpose for the first time. Although her dislike of blood and illness made her a less than ideal nurse, she soon realised her ambition to become an ambulance driver, and in 1940 accompanied the French expeditionary force sent to help the Finns in the winter war against the Russians."
