The second photo is a memorial in front of the church to those soldiers who died in World War II.
Finland fought three wars: the Winter War alone against the Soviet Union, the Continuation War with Germany against the Soviet Union, and the
Lapland War alone against Germany. In the end, Finland had managed, against all odds, to defend its independence and democratic
constitution while suffering relatively minor territorial losses.

8,000 Swedes voluntarily went to Finland in World War II, and my recollection is that these are their graves in the bottom photo.
