      Gents, With nine recorded wounds (note paragraph 8.), Lt M. F. Shcherbakov was indeed a wound stripe wonder. Regards, slava1stclass

      Gents, Another multi-wound vet. Regards, slava1stclass

      Gents, Nice images of screwback Order of the Red Banner quad winners. The second image is of I. I. Borzov. He would later be awarded the HSU title. Regards, slava1stclass

      Gents, Great image of fabled Soviet tank designer HSL Maj Gen A. A. Morozov - thrice Laureat of the State Prize ('42, '46 and '48) and the Lenin Prize in '67. Regards, slava1stclass

      Gents, The G.O. in post #62 above is aviation Maj Gen I. D. Antoshkin. He was killed in a UT-2 plane crash in May 1944. Earned his HSU during the 1940 Soviet-Finnish war. Regards, slava1stclass

      Gents, And they keep getting younger... Regards, slava1stclass

      Darrell, Wrong side of the uniform. In your reversal of the negative, the words "For Valor" are now reversed. Regards, slava1stclass
    17. slava1stclass
      Gents, Although worn on the wrong side of his uniform, we won't quibble too much. Regards, slava1stclass
    18. slava1stclass
      Gents, A Legion of Merit in the degree of Legionnaire to a Red Army lieutenant. All things considered, a somewhat inflated award considering his junior rank. Regards, slava1stclass
    19. slava1stclass
      Gents, This is one impressive Soviet naval officer. Captain First Rank A. F. Arzhavkin wears the Orders of Nakhimov First and Second Class, the Order of Ushakov Second Class, the Order of Alexander Nevskiy, the Order of the Patriotic War and two Orders of the Red Star - and those are just his screwbacks. Regards, slava1stclass

      Gents, Yet another Bronze Star Medal to an artilleryman. Regards, slava1stclass
    21. slava1stclass

      Gents, A great photo of a yet-to-be identified HSU Major General who was one of 53 Red Army personnel to be awarded the U.S. Army Distinguished Service Cross (second only to the Medal of Honor for combat valor) during World War II. Note how he's remounted it using the original DSC award ribbon. Regards, slava1stclass
    24. slava1stclass
