Captain Ratia and radio reporter Raaska at Korkeakangas soon after the events at Kuivalainen hill.
In those battles on 12-13 July 1941, many men from South Ostrobothnia fell from Vähäkyrö (16) and Isokyrö (26).
Later, Ratia had stated: "Kuivalainen was attacked twice on really wrong grounds, at too fast a pace, if the groups had been spared and then on the 14th when the opportunities for this cooperation [with Laurila's JR 16] had been created".
Viljo Olavi Ratia (27.1.1911-6.9.2006) was married to Armi Ratia (née Airaksinen). In 1951, Armi Ratia founded well known company called Marimekko. Viljo also served as Marimekko's deputy CEO at one point.
