- The fortifications of the base XXXIII was added to the plan of Krepost Sveaborg in the Spring of 1915. The base itself contained quite many batteries, with one of them being in the Miessaari, which also belonged to the Sea Front. The Miessaari itself is closed today from civilians and thus documenting that battery is quite difficult.

- Still few of the batteries remain in the area of Tapiola, even when the area has grown significantly from the Spring of 1915. 

- Battery 114 was armed with three Canet 152mm cannons. Today, there's not much remaining from the battery, as first of all, all of the iron reinforcements have been removed from the shelters and ammunition storage rooms. The result of this is, that the roof has collapsed on top of the walls, which still barely manage to hold the weight of the roof.

- The books telling about the time of the First World War in Finland, contains quite a many notes about Krepost Sveaborg. The following informal translation is an citing from the book: Diary of a Red Guardsman (Punakaartilaisen Päiväkirja) by Viljo Sohkanen. He joined the Red Guards at the age of seventeen, participated to the battles in the area of Vyborg as a medic and was finally captured in the area of Tikkurila by the advancing Germans and White Guards. Text in the closures are comments from the translator, meaning me:

" The Malmi Guards contains about 1600 men. It's one of the biggest Guards in the area. Not even the Guards in the cities can beat the size of it. The reason for this is, that Malmi still contains quite many unemployed people, even when most of the trench workers (Krepost Sveaborg) already left for their home areas in different parts of Finland, in the Autumn. The Malmi area is now quiet, as the Russians left also when the Christmas was approaching. All the time during the war, it has been a hullabaloo here, there was men, horses and thousands of soldiers working on the hills (Work on the Krepost Sveaborg). "

- The above citing has been written in January 1918.

- Outside appearance of the shelters and ammunition storage rooms. The roof has landed on top of the walls. There's two different shelters in the battery. The second one, which is further away from the picture, is overgrown with nettles and other vegetation. The closest one can be easily visited, although the interiors only contain one room, but that room is very interesting.

- The walls of the shelters, have contained shelf's, from which the holes where the actual shelf's have been located, are still visible. Some of the holes in the wall, still contains the original wood from the shelf's.

- While I was photographing Battery 114, it started raining very heavily and to my surprise, I got company. At least three to four birds entered the shelter from the heavy rain. They kept a respective distance from me but remained in the shelter until the rain stopped. The shelters in the Krepost Sveaborg have gotten a new kind of occupants, who sought protection from it's walls, still after nearly a hundred years have passed.
