death class |
died, was committed to rest and buried ** |
* - There are (commonly) no not buried soldiers in Finland. The place in military cemeteries are reserved and gravestones are prepared for all the soldiers, even MIA. So re-burying of recently found remains cannot make a disorder in the cemetery.
** - So in the official list of fallen solders. In his soldier's file - "Missed in action", then crossed out and "died, was committed to rest and buried". The death was caused by the direct hit of Soviet mortar shell, such deaths usually being classified like "was committed to rest, body remained in the field or was destroyed". Possibly a Finnish soldier had noticed the death and had taken a half of ID tag to report the death to the commander (leavig another half on the place of death), and having a half of ID tag the commander decided that body was given to KIA evaquation team. The DNA expertize will give the answer.
The remains were transferred to Finnish side 24.09.2005
