Battle context
The Battle of Utria, also known as the Utria Landing, was an amphibious operation conducted at Udria beach between 17 and 20 January 1919 during the Estonian War of Independence. The Estonian force of approximately 1,900 personnel faced a Soviet Russian force of around 2,700, sustaining some 300 casualties in the engagement. The operation was notable for its reliance on Finnish volunteers as the primary component of the landing force, reflecting the broader pattern of foreign volunteer support that supplemented Estonian military efforts during the independence war.
