Johan Benjamin Jauhiainen, a Finnish Officer...

Johan   Benjamin   Jauhiainen,   a   Finnish   Officer   who   had   a   big   role   in   the   1918   Finnish independence war. Jauhiainen was born on 31.07.1895. During   WWI,   he   was   one   of   circa   1900   soldiers   that   went   to   Germany   for   military   training in   1915-18.   In   particular   he   spent   time   in   the   Jaeger   Battalion   27   for   MG   training   and   then on 1917 as extra training for explosives and explosions. From   June   1916   to   February   1917   he   took   a   part   to   WW   I   (with   about   other   1.300   Finland soldiers)   against   the   Russians   on   Riga   front   line   in   Latvia.In   this   period   he   became   a   big enthusiast of the LP08 and then he decided to employ this pistol as his personal pistol. A   hand   made   holster   was   done   to   fit   his   LP08.   Jauhiainen,   with   other   100   men,   came   back to   Finland   in   December   1917   with   his   LP08   and   other   two   huge   gun   cargo.   Most   of   them were ordered to training Home Guards around Finland. On   February/May   1918   they   took   a   part   to   Finland's   struggle   for   independence   on   the White's side. After the Civil War these men were as a back bone of independence Finland's Army. Jauhiainen served in the army in the Wyborg´s Battalion. During   the   Winter   War   1939-40   he   was   as   battalion   commander   (35   Infantry   Regiment)   in North Carelia. Jauhiainen   fought   on   WWII   as   Major   and   starting   from   1944   as   Ltn.   Colonel   (51   Infantry Regiment). He was retired in 1945. He died 1959.
