Finnish medals to Independence
Some pieces from my collection which I have just unpacked.
The Draft Resistor's Medal and certificate are to Kaarlo Oscar Granath. A businessman from Tampere, he evaded the attempt of the Russian Army to conscript him into the Imperial Russian Army 1902-1904. Sadly, during the Independence War he was arrested by the Red Finnish Guards and after a brief "trial" he was sentenced to death as "White" supporter. Mass executions took place and bodies were buried in pits.
