The skirmish at Peltokorpi occurred on 13 May 1808 during the Finnish War, when a Swedish force of 30 men attacked a larger Russian one at Peltokorpi. The Swedes assaulted a smaller guard force first, capturing its underofficer and his horse, before attacking the larger main force, where they managed to kill and wound several. Arvid Adolf Spåre would eventually return to Himango where he was promoted to an officer.
