was committed to rest, body remained in the field or was destroyed |
* - 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.
The remains were transferred to Finnish side 18.06.2006
Private Lehto was a member of MG team (8th company of Infantry regimen 53 = MG company of II battalion of Infantry regimen 53). Killed by direct hit of small caliber artillery shell.
