can anyone tell me about the Finnish draft system?
Someone on page 2 said that Finns must serve time in the armed forces..........was that true in 1913?
My Father was to leave Finland in December of 1913 and his travel was delayed. He said it was because of the First World War but that war didn't start until late summer of 1914.
He was to travel with his Uncle who was 25 years of age at the time. Could that Uncle have been drafted as Russia geared up through the Baltic war and approaching the world war?How could I find out if the uncle was in the service in early 1914?I'd appreciate any hints you could give me.
