Etulinjan Edessä finnish war film

[Franz repper]

Dont know too much as of yet will ask on of the extras more on it and post it here

[Pirkka]

I read that the book in English isn't a great translation. It probably needs a new treatment, like the prequel about the Koskela family got.
The book, even as a bad translation, is still a fantastic read, though.

Slim chance of that happening I am afraid. Tiny market - who is interested?

Get your self a Finnish dictionairy and do it yourself!

Enough of a market for Linna's 'Under The North Star' trilogy to be retranslated into English. As this is the prequel to 'The Unknown Soldier', it seemed fair that Linna's classic would get a new translation at some point.
A Finnish dictionary wouldn't work. The word endings seem to change almost at will and nouns decline in 16 different ways. I'm just going to have to find someone to teach me Finnish, a tall order in North East England.

But you are asking for a work to be updated? that is a tall order.

I know a Finnish dictionary wouldn't work, I was pulling your leg.

Finnish societies in UK run out of London and have regional branches across the country. There are Finns everywhere, you would be surprised.

What organisations have you looked at?

I do not follow - you are awaiting confirmation from Helsinki that you can join the reserves?

London is a long way to travel to for Finnish lessons. I would not be surprised if there was a modest Finnish group working out of Yorkshire. But as Franz says, contact London first, they should be able to point you in the correct direction.

[Franz repper]

Yes sorry I am awaiting confirmation from Helsinki to join the reserves in Finland one man three uniforms bit like Lauri A. Torni ( Larry A. Thorn) Now that is a story for Hollywood .There is a place in York for the church Guild
