Cavalry, messenger, and such troops were issued the Finnish carbines. M27 carbines were issued to: URR, HRR, Cavalry NCO School (RvAUK), Signal Squadron (VEsk) and Mounted Artillery Battery (RatsPtri) all parts of the Cavalry Brigade. It is interesting to note that the horse artillery batteries were no longer a part of the Cavalry Brigade but lumped into field artillery by the time of the Winter War. This change had to happen sometime between 1935-39 but it is not clear just when this occured.
