How many Swedes were killed or seriously injured while helping Finland defend itself against the Soviet invasion?

Thanks

I don't think we lost many Swedes during the Winter War since we were a "non-fighting" nation (not neutral, but our army wasn't actually involved). Our role was mostly to supply the Finns with weapons, though we did have nearly 10 000 Swedes volunteering to fight in the war.
