That tells the full story.
They didn't get there in time to go into action as the Winter war ended.
I have a full list of the Volunteers , giving name, occupation, year & place of birth .

Thanks for sharing that info. The only data I have on Finnish volunteers are based on old news reports from 1940. According to what I have, there was one Danish company and volunteers from Sweden.There was also mention of five US aviators who flew in the Spanish Civil War. There was no mention, though, of British volunteers actually engaging in combat in Finland.
