Lotta Keltamäki

A member of the Finnish Lotta Svärd womens' auxiliary paramilitary organisation smiles for the camera in the formerly Finnish village of Kellomäki during the Continuation war on the 3rd of July 1942. The area with the village of Kellomäki was lost to the USSR and shortly after the war in 1948 the name of the village was changed to Комарово (Komarovo). On her Lotta uniform can be seen the ribbon of the Commemorative medal of the Winter war, which was awarded to everyone who served in the Winter war. On the left side pocket of her uniform can also be seen the Lotta Svärd course pin and the Lotta Svärd marching/skiing pin. Lotta Keltamäki hymyilee kameralle entisessä Kellomäen kylässä Jatkosodan aikana 3. kesäkuuta 1942. Kellomäen kylän alue menetettiin Neuvostoliitolle ja pian sodan jälkeen vuonna 1948 kylän nimeksi vaihdettiin Комарово (Komarovo). Lotta univormussa on kiinnitettynä Talvisodan Muistomitalin nauha ja vasemmanpuoleiseen rintataskuun on kiinnitetty Lotta Svärdin kurssimerkki ja hiihto- ja kävelymerkki.
