An old, old, really old photo from an album of one of my grandparent, none of them are present and I have no idea who these people are.
My best guess it's from the #Finnish #CivilWar but if you can tell me please let me know 😁

did just some fast-checks. This guys could belong to Vaasa Flying Guard ”VLS” during the Civil War?
Page 23. ’Quote’
”The only exception is the arm bands of the Vaasa Flying Guard with the additional text Laihia (VLS Laihia), which can be dated as having been made for the 18 Laihia men who left for the Flying Guard on 13.2.1918”
