Honour Cross to Finnish Soldiers

      Some Finnish soldiers fought with German regiments during WW1 , most in Jaeger Btl 27 but also in other

      regiments. Here are some ribbon bars to Finnish participants in WW1. 

 Here a Liberty Cross 2nd class 1941  -Liberty Cross 3rd class 1939 - Liberty Cross 4th class 1918

 Order of the White Rose Commander - Order of The White Rose Knight

 Medal for Freedom war 1918 - Medal Winter war 1940 - Medal Tammerfors 1918

 Honour Cross - German Eagle Order

 Probably a fighter from 27 Jaeger that participated in Finnish war 1918, fought at Tammerfors 1918 and again

 in uniform during Winterwar 1939-40, and most probably is some sort of Staff durning WW2. (I´m only guessing the year of the Liberty Crosses because there is no way to see years on a ribbon band). I belive this ribbon belonged to a Colonel 194-1944 who made it up to GenMaj or GenLt later.
