Thank you for the information Nick!

These are very interesting, thanks for sharing! Is there any way to find more details about the deeds they were awarded with this medal for?

Very interesting! Thank you for posting this.

Such a beautiful piece of history!

Such a nice little group!

Here's my latest documented group. Order for Merits for the People 3rd class (#74,0XX) and a Medal for Bravery. They were awarded to reserve zastavnik (sergeant). Both of the awards have been awarded on the 6th of June 1949. Research for further information about the man is in progress...

List of Yugoslavs awarded with Kutuzov 2nd class. I've found 15 names and everyone was awarded on September 5th 1944 except Savo Orović. Unfortunately, I don't know the date when he was awarded. The list most likely isn't complete. 1. Lado Ambrožič 2. Vlado Ćetković 3. Petar Drapšin 4. Pavle Jakšić 5. Đoko Jovanić 6. Vaso Jovanović 7. Veljko Kovačević 8. Danilo Lekić 9. Vlado Matetić 10. Milutin Morača 11. Kosta Nađ 12. Savo Orović 13. Marko Peričin 14. Slavko Rodić 15. Vlado Šegrt
