The remains of the Swedish soldier Gustav Lennart Hultqvist, from the Swedish volunteer company of the 13Th Infantry Regiment (Finnish Army) were found a week ago in the Karelian peninsula. He was killed during the battle of Tali-Ihantala in late June 1944.  :salute
The volunteer company lost 72% of its men during the last week of June 1944.
In 29 months at the front the company lost 125 men (41 KIA).
