Aimo Cajander

Aimo Kaarlo Cajander (18791943) was, outside of Botanics, best known as Prime Minister of Finland up to the Winter War.

He was a professor of Forestry 191134; director-general for Finland's Forest and Park Service 19341943; prime minister in 1922, 1924, and 19371939; chairman of the National Progressive Party 19331943; and Member of Parliament.

Cajander's name is remembered for "Model Cajander", the fashion of many Finnish soldiers in Winter War: the army was poorly equipped, so a conscript man was given a utility belt, an emblem to be attached to the hat — to comply with the Hague Conventions (1899 and 1907) — and, hopefully, a rifle. Otherwise, he had to use his own clothes and equipment.
