Soviet Four Fours

Darrell, Wrong side of the uniform. In your reversal of the negative, the words "For Valor" are now reversed. Regards, slava1stclass -
Soviet Four Fours

Gents, Although worn on the wrong side of his uniform, we won't quibble too much. Regards, 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, 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
