Paul C Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Any help with translating the writing on the below pic is appreciated. Also the soldier on the left looks like he has 2 red stars and one OPW, correct? For the one on the right I can't identify the medal below the red star, any help? Thanks.

Dave Danner Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) Hi Paul, The badge appears to be a proficiency badge. "Excellent Artilleryman" or the like. I don't think there's enough detail to tell which. See this thread: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/1720-otlichnik-excellence-badges/ The top says "In memory of the Great Patriotic War 1941-45". The bottom says "Our cause is just" and "We are victorious".- this is the same as the text on the obverse of the Medal for Victory Over Germany.

Paul C Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Thanks Dave. The on the right is my grandfather's brother's son or my father's cousin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
