I am very well aware of the great war history of your country and would like to see with my own eyes the war sites of your Winter War and Continuation War. I have been blessed with possibility to visit your country next summer in July.
Would you be so kind and supply me with an inclusive list of the war sites worth visit in the province of Eastern Finland?
In addition, would you please give me a short description of those?
Yours, Miles"
