Finnish soldiers transporting grain using a sled

I/JR51 has had to fight in the area of five 1:20,000 map sheets, so the cargo transport has been difficult. In the picture, a "market sleigh" found on the island, which the boys have deemed suitable for transporting grain. The soldier on the right has a Finnish Mosin with a stepped barrel
