 | | There on the Salla front the troops of General Kurt Martti Wallenius engaged in another attempt to destroy a Russian Army. |
 | | The Russian main body retired to Märkäjävi, about 15 miles southwest of its base at Salla (Finns described reports that the Russians were retreating to Salla as "premature"), when the Finns succeeded in cutting off a branch road leading to the town of Kuusamo, 50 miles to the south. |
 | | Fierce counterattacks by the Russians having failed to retake the road at week's end, the result of the battle was in doubt, but General Wallenius had divided his enemy and had a chance to attack it piecemeal. |
