Riley1965

The presentation packet was to large to post.

This Mother's cross is my first.

This Soviet "Dembel" (a uniform embellished when serviceman/woman is demobilized. This came off the back of a Soviet Sgt in the Armored Corps.

Here's the award packet to go with it.

Here's a War Medal I got for Christmas from my room mate.

Rick, He was on active duty in 1970. He received the Medal for Lieder of Socialist Competition in 1978 (badge). Also the 25th GPW is the silver version.

I have all of Colonel Fiodorov's orders and medals as well as his sister, Zinaida's. Complete with all award booklets. Research is being translated. I will post more when I get the research.

Here is the inside of the award booklet.

This is a rare hardcover version of an award booklet for the Medal for the 25th Anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.

I just received the Service card and file papers for the South African Native NGOZWANA MOTIKITIKI Service # N77620. I have his 1939-1945 Star. He also earned The Italy Star, 1939-1945 War Medal and the Africa Service Medal.He entered Service on 22-2-43. He served first in the S.A.A.F. in the 227 Squadron.on 12/8/44 the 227 was redesignated 19 Sqadron.It appears that this young man spent 28 days in detention in 12/2/45. Campaigns include C.M.F., M.E.F., Union. From the documents he was with aircraft maintenance including a Bomber Maintenance unit. There's more but I have to translate the scribble. A doctor must have filled out his service record. I am very pleased with the research and can't wait to start my next project. I received these from a very kind gentleman in Northcliff, South Africa. I would have posted copies of his service record but, the scans exceed the size limit.

It is with my deepest sympathy for his family that I say good bye to Tony. His family is in my prayers. His knowledge will be missed.
