Default Finnish/English translation needed

I'm trying to dig up anything to do with the fighting on Teikar-Saari in the gulf of Vyborg. My Grandfather fought there during the Continuation War. Google searches have given me bits and pieces like this map showing the Soviet attack across the gulf and a couple lines from another site that read:
"The Russians tried to cross the Gulf of Viborg south of the town in early July. They managed to take islands on the Gulf, but landings on the other side were repelled. Here the Finnish forces were helped by the German
122nd Division."
A Google search for "Teikar-Saari" brings up about five sites that are written in Finnish. I was hoping a Finnish speaker could run the search and browse through them for any relevant info for. It would be greatly appreciated. My six Finnish words are a bit rusty.

An interesting tid bit I discovered in my six-hour search today: Alexander Popov(the inventor of radio) conducted his transmitting experiments from Teikar-Saari in 1897.

Kitos
