Soome poiste rügemendi lahing "Põhjapoisid" Bejas
1919. gada 23. februārī somu brīvprātīgo pulka “Ziemeļu zēni” izlūku vienība, ar cerību iegūt papildus bruņojumu un munīciju, nonāca pie Bejas skolas upītes kraujas, kur notika sadursme ar lieliniekiem (Babeckas kauja). Šajā kaujā krita 10 somu pulka karavīri.
“Atbrīvošanas kara laikā mātes brālis Eino Soriola mācījās Kurkijo lauksaimniecības skolā. Kādu dienu skolā ienāca sarkanie un paziņoja, ka nogalinās kapitālistu kucēnus. 22 puišus izveda pagalmā un nošāva, bet mātes brālim un vēl vienam puisim izdevās palikt dzīviem. Viņi gulēja ievainoti zem biedru ķermeņu kaudzes. Otru puisi, kas bija ievainots vēderā, pēc tam atrada un nodūra ar durkļiem. Mātes brālis bija ievainots plaušās, stipri apsaldējies, divas diennaktis izvairīdamies no meklētājiem, ieracies staļļa mēslu kaudzē, sildījās no trūdošajiem zirgu mēsliem. Slēpdamies viņš ieradās pie ģimenes sarkano ieņemtajā Kuhmo. Tuvumā atradās prettuberkulozes sanatorija, kur viņš uzlaboja veselību. Te Eino kopā ar kādu biedru slepeni ievāca ziņas no sarkanajiem, it īpaši labi tas izdevās, ejot kopā ar sarkanajiem saunā. Kalmina sūtīts, mātes brālis Eino darbojās Kuhmo visu Brīvības cīņu laiku, savā naidā gribēdams atmaksāt arī par skolas biedru nāvi. Pilsoņu karā viņš piedalījās Aunu pārgājienā un Vieni pārgājienā, tika ievainots lielajā Vuokkiniemen kaujā 1918. gada 29. septembrī, un pēc atlabšanas viņam vairs nebija vēlēšanās doties uz Igaunijas cīņām. Bet Hanss Kalms nosūtīja mātes brālim Eino vēstuli, atgādinot somu brīvprātīgajiem par ierašanos, un gaidīja atbildes pakalpojumus Igaunijas atbrīvošanā.
Mātes Brālis devās Ziemeļu zēnu ceļā, par kuru rakstīja Hans Kalms. Onkulis dienēja par ložmetēja grupas vadītāju, Valkas kaujā tika paaugstināts par seržantu. Marienburgas gājienā nepareizu ziņu dēļ 56 vīru grupa jāja uz slēpni, kur mātes brālis 23. 02. 1919. tika ievainots. Viņš palika pie ložmetēja, nosedzot pārējo ievainoto bēgšanu ar zirgiem. Onkuļa līķi neatrada. Tāpat arī par viņu netika saņemtas nekādas ziņas.
Juho Kallinen, kurš arī bija pilsoņu karā Aunu, tāpat arī igauņu pārgājienā, pastāstīja par onkuļa ievainojumu, jo kaujā viņi bija vienā grupā. Vectēvs un vecmāmiņa mēģināja kaut ko uzzināt par dēla likteni, bet visas pūles bija veltas. Izrādījās, viņš bija gājis bojā Babeckas kaujā un apglabāts kopā ar pārējiem kritušajiem somu karavīriem vietēja zemnieka Bērziņa zemē Latvijā.”

Memorial plaque to the Finnish Jaegers in the Holy Trinity Cathedral in Liepāja
A memorial plaque dedicated to the Finnish Jaegers is located in Liepāja Holy Trinity Cathedral, Lielā iela 9.
The Finnish Jägers were a unit of the German Empire, formed by volunteers from Finland, which, under the name of the 27th Royal Prussian Jäger Battalion, took part in the First World War battles on the Eastern Front of Latvia in 1916-1917.
During World War I, the Grand Duchy of Finland was part of the Russian Empire and many Finns wanted a German victory in the war in order to promote the establishment of an independent state. On 20 November 1914, the Finnish Independence Movement was founded in Helsinki, which also planned to form the armed forces of an independent state. When the German government confirmed its readiness to train the Finns in January 1915, the recruitment of volunteers began and by the spring of 1916 almost 2,000 soldiers were stationed in Germany and were named the 27th Royal Prussian Jäger Battalion.
From June 1916 the battalion was on the Riga front, when it was moved to Liepaja until March 1917. After the February Revolution, the Russian Empire began to collapse and on 6 December 1917 the Finnish Parliament declared independence.
On 13 February 1918, the Battalion swore allegiance to Finland in the Holy Trinity Church in Liepāja. On 15 February 1918, the battalion left the port of Liepaja by ship to return home to the port of Vasa and take part in the Finnish Civil War against the Reds, who had staged a coup d'état on 27 January 1918. The well-trained and combat-experienced Jägers formed the core of the Finnish national army and a large number became commanders during the Second World War.
The battalion's flag, consecrated in Holy Trinity Church, became the first flag of independent Finland.
