    Documents to come.

    But an image of the man (and I see at least two things that have gone walkabout from the group ;) ).

    Closeups of anything on request.

    Hi Ed, several things on there I have not seen on bars before. The 40 Year Lenin Medal for one. What are the two on red ribbons at the end of his third (!!) Medal bar?

    The next-to-last - Bulgaria: Medal "30th Anniversary of Victory over Fascist Germany". Last? No clue. Both on incorrect ribbons, though :( .
