Finnish Ace Eino Juutilainen's Medals

Hello!

I am attempting to identify all of Finnish fighter ace Flight Master Juutilainen's decorations. By my count he was bestowed with approximately 15 decorations. I have identified most of them but I cannot ID one. If any of you have a copy of the book "Lentavat Ritarit" which number 21 in the Suomen Ilmavoimien Historia series, if you look on the inside of the front cover there is an excellent photo of all of Juutilainen's medals. The medal that I have yet to identify is second to last directly next to his German Iron Cross, Second Class. From the photo I can tell that the medal is suspended from a ribbon that is colored from left to right red with a thin white line in the middle and then the color black. I cannot make out the medal itself but it appears to be circular in shape made from either gold or bronze. Can anyone help ID this decoration?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers!

Mike

Hello Mike!

I didn't see this post before I posted the PM, but the medal is "Karjalaisen siirtoväen muistomitali" or "Karelian Evacuees Commemorative Medal"
