The Winter War Monument was erected in honour of the veterans of the Winter War 1939-1940 as well those others who were involved or who suffered. The monument is located along the side of the old Raate road, near Suomussalmi, Finland. The bloodiest battles of the war were fought in this area. Stones standing on an area covering almost three hectares represent the number of soldiers who died in the Winter War battles of Suomussalmi.
