COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF'S ORDER OF THE DAY, N.O. 34,
PART II

(The glory of our days - Finnish war 1939 - 1940 with pictures and communiqué from headquarters) 

14th of March 1940 

- I thank the staff officers for their skill and untiring labour, and finally I thank my own closest assistants, the general staff and the quartermaster general, the army commanders, the army corps commanders and the divisional commanders who have often transformed the impossible into the possible. 

- I thank the Finnish Army in all of its branches, which in noble competition have done heroic deeds since the first day of the war. I thank the army for the courage with which it has faced an overwhelmingly superior enemy equipped in part with unknown weapons so far and for the stubbornness with which it held on to every inch of our soil. The destruction of over 1500 Russian tanks and over 700 enemy aircrafts speaks of deeds of heroism that were often carried out by single individuals.

- With joy and pride my thoughts dwell on the Finnish Lottas and their part in the war - their spirit of self-sacrifice and untiring work in many fields, work which has liberated thousands of men to the firing lines. Their noble spirit has spurred on and supported the army, whose undivided gratitude and respect they have achieved. On place of honour have also been those of the thousands of workers who often as volunteers and during air raids, have worked beside their machine for the army's needs or laboured unflinchingly under fire, strengthening our positions. I thank you all, on behalf of the Fatherland.

Mannerheim

- Trench line leads from the area where structure 402 is located to the accommodation dugout 420. The actual line is just and just noticeable from the dense and marshy forest.

- The actual accommodation dugout has survived remarkably well all through these years.

- The same dugout seen from another direction.

- The dugout remains seen from the entrance.

- Not much work would be needed in the area, to make the position again into a good shape, or at least into a better shape than it will be in the coming years, when the dead trees bury it.

- Inside of the remains. The walls of the structure are still standing and the shape of the dugout is very recognizable to anyone walking in the area.
