Picture by air, Striking picture just received of Finland's priest-like troops on Karelian Isthmus. A Finnish light artillery squad at their post in the snow-covered Karelian Isthmus. Their white camouflage tunics, with the darker garments showing underneath, give them the appearance of wearing surplices, while the gun is also camouflaged to one with the snow and is covdered with what looks - at this time of year particularly - suspiciously like Christmas trees!
