Viki was the next oldest brother. He was born about 1895. As a younger brother he was often dressed like his older brother Pisti in identical outfits. There mother seems quite fond of dressing the boys alike. As an older boy, once Pisti had entered military school, Viki was dressed in identical outfits with younger brother Villy. Sailor suits were one of the most common idential outfits in which the boys were dressed. The boys also wore identical broad-brimmed sailor hats.
