Medals "For the Winter War
 1939-1940"  (Cuckoo) with Swords with Award Document for:

Soldiers of the Finnish Army!
You did not want war, you loved peace, work and development, but you were forced into battle, where you performed great deeds, deeds that will shine in the pages of history for centuries.

I have fought on many battlefields, but I have not yet seen warriors like you. I am proud of you as if you were my own children, as proud of the men of the fells in the North as of the sons of the plains of Ostrobothnia, the forests of Karelia, the hills of Savo, the fertile fields of Häme and Satakunta, the gentle groves of Uusimaa and Southwest Finland. I am just as proud of the sacrifice offered by the factory worker and the son of a poor hut as by the wealthier one.

I thank all branches of the glorious Finnish Army, who in noble competition performed heroic deeds from the first day of the war.  I thank you for the courage with which the army faced an enemy that was many times superior, partly armed with unknown weapons, and for the tenacity with which it attacked every inch of the homeland.

With joy and pride I think of the Finnish women and their part in the war, their spirit of sacrifice and tireless work in various fields, which freed thousands of men for the front lines. I also remember the countless other women who took the cause of the fatherland as their own.

Also in a place of honor stood those thousands of workers who, even during the harsh times of the war, often voluntarily worked at their machines, preparing the army's needs, as well as those who, without flinching under enemy fire, worked to equip the stations. I was happy to note that our united people wanted to support the army's fight in everything.

 While our brave soldiers defended our borders, they had to make overwhelming efforts to acquire what was lacking, to build defense lines that did not exist, to try to get help that did not come. They had to acquire weapons and equipment at a time when all countries were feverishly preparing for the storm that was sweeping over the world. Your heroic deeds, soldiers, aroused admiration across the countries, but after three and a half months of war, we were still almost alone. You fought day and night, without the possibility of replacement, straining your physical and mental strength to the limit to meet the attacks of ever new enemy forces, but nevertheless, at the end of the war, our army stood undefeated in the face of an enemy that had suffered terrible losses, although it had nevertheless become stronger. Our home front, where countless air raids spread death and terror among women and children, did not falter for a moment.  Our people endured their trials with an iron will.

I thank the mothers and fathers of those who fell as heroes, I thank every fighter on the front lines and on the home front.

In the name of the Fatherland and as the Supreme Commander of the Defence Forces

Material-Bronze Obverse: in the center is a Finnish soldier - a sniper, in a protective uniform with a rifle in his hand, at the top of the medal is an image of a crown, two bent arms with a European sword and an oriental saber - a symbol of the eternal struggle between Europe and Asia (the coat of arms of Finnish Karelia -  Karelian Isthmus) against the background of an equilateral cross.  Further along the circumference (clockwise) is the image of the coats of arms of the Finnish main lands and provinces.  Reverse: two-line Finnish inscription KUNNIA ISANMAA (Russian translation; HONOR RODINA) in the center.  The framing of the text composition is represented by a spruce wreath and an equilateral cross.  The medal was established on August 2, 1940.  Finnish soldiers and officers were awarded for participation in the Soviet-Finnish War from December 8, 1939 to March 13, 1940.  The Finnish snipers who took a position in the trees during the Winter War were called "cuckoos" by the Red Army soldiers, hence the name of the medal - Cuckoo.
The term "cuckoo" is repeatedly found in the book "Fighting in Finland.  Memoirs of participants”, published in the USSR in 1941, in which the “cuckoo” was most often described precisely as a sniper firing from a tree.
On the ribbon of the Medal there is a metal bar with the Indication of the Defense KARJALAN KANNAS
