I don?t understand this entry, Rick. What was Shashel?s position at this time?
Thanks
Gerd

there is an "X" here and out of sequence notation which I am not sure if it is an INSERTION or a CORRECTION--
"12.5.43" "Commander 1573rd Anti-Aircraft Regiment"
[attachmentid=10702]
Rick,
this date looks on the original like 12.05.1944
That would put it in line again, right?

Rick,
you say, the Red-Banner COULD be from the Afghanistan aera, but normally is this serialrange earlier, isn?t it?
For example, i have these two numbers in my database:
454.346 26.10.1955
489.908 30.12.1956
So its probably more an exception to find one in this range, which was awarded for Afghanistan.
It seems, that the Order of the Red-Banner was very rarely awarded after 1956, is that true?
TIA

Rick,

Gerd-- yu've put the reverse of the Red Star citation in BOTH #14 and #17. Those are the final approvals signed off by commanding officer parts.
I have changed the scans, Rick. These must be the right ones now.
