24 January - DAY 56 of Winter War

Ladoga Karelia: Soviet forces continue their offensive on the River Aittojoki to the north of Lake Ladoga, with the main focus of the assault coming to the west of Lake Vegarusjärvi. The defending Finns manage to hold their positions.

On the River Kollaanjoki, the enemy captures one of the bases of the 1st Battalion, 35th Infantry Regiment in the northern sector.

Mikkeli: General Headquarters orders the setting up of evacuation centres for the bodies of soldiers fallen in combat.

There has been a rise in the number of couples getting married. 75% of civil marriages are 'war weddings', which can be performed without the need for advance proclamation of the banns. Church war weddings require formal proclamation of the banns on the preceding Sunday.

Turku: a four-strong delegation from the British Labour Party arrives in the city. In an interview, Sir Walter Citrine says 99.9% of people in Britain support Finland in her struggle.

Finnish convicts ask to be sent to the front. However, the authorities are less than enthusiastic in their response.

Abroad: the leaders of the International Amateur Athletic Federation call on the world's athletes to help Finland.

Sweden's Red Star organization's horse ambulance leaves Stockholm en route to Finland.

Finland's Minister of Social Affairs K.-A. Fagerholm arrives in Stockholm to discuss details of the evacuation of Finnish children.

Daily losses: 78
