I do not know if that is the total number or just a part of those awarded. Gunner 1 I just ran across a list from August 1944 of 25 recipients of the DFC. These were all presented by Harriman to Molotov in Moscow on 22 August 1944. There's probably 300 names in the list... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slava1stclass Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Gents, The Silver Star as awarded to Sergeant Major N. I. Zhuzhoma. He was so proud of his U.S. Army decoration that it was even sculpted into the bust on his headstone (star to the right in image).

slava1stclass Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Gents, Although not the most ideal image, the Distinguished Flying Cross is clearly recognizable on this unidentified aviation HSU.
