Etulinja garrison weekend

Post by Heinz O. Kaufmann »

The soldiers life was not just sleeping under the stars, sometimes you could enjoy the luxury of indoor activity. Sometimes garrisons (for excample, in Petroskoi and Home-Finland) bring not so pleasant thing with them, like close order drill, cleaning service, discipline and accurate timing.

Etulinja decided to get into these feelings and here is the result

Image
Garrison quarters.

Image
Correct literature.

Image
Reading service.

Image
Cleaning service. Quarters must be kept clean and in order. This will quarantee that the room stays clean and in order. And on the same time recruits will learn the words discipline and precisiness.

Image
Inspection of the quarters and closets starts.

Image
Inspection.

Image
Poor results will be fixed and will be punished for.

Image
Completely approved way of inspecting.

Image
Toilets where not so personals.

Image
Getting ready for weapon inspection. Weapons must be maintained on regular basics so that their service life will be added to the maximun.

Image
Weapon inspection.

Image
"Assemble!" ...and to the next weapon.

Image
Eye glass models from the war years.

Close order drill:

Image
Forming up to a close order drill.

Image
Corporal in charge of the close order drill inspects the equipment.

Image
Weapon handling.

Field training:

Image
Lesson for trench clearing.

Image
Destroying a bunker.

Image
Artillery fire commanding.

Image
Clearing the trench.

Image
Brake.

ATTENTION! Garrison quarters where not period correct, the garrison was built just after the war and was modernized at some point. The first barracks we hope we could have used made in 1939 was now a cafeteria.


Etulinja would like to thank for co-operation Archipelago Sea Coast Guard Guild and Staff of Kuuskajaskari garrison island.!

The weekend brought back memories.... :P But I must say that this place was spacious, modern and awesome compare to wht I had during my military service :D My building was built in 1820's and I don't think it had ever been moernized, except for the toilets.... :P

Hopefully next time we get an older barracks for rent and more people to come... :)
