Strange choice of awards ...

Amazing story http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Beyrle Together with PPSH

Unfortunately no names and no photos Herman. Actually this is the very first time I heard about "purple hearts for soviets". I guess there are some theoretical possibilities of such awardings before September 22, 1943 when hearts stoped being awarded for "meritorious performance of duty". But after 1943 it was strictly "for wounds received in action against the enemy" award ... The only time I saw PH on the chest of ex soviet soldier ... Famous "soldier of two armies" Joseph Beyrle and his son (US ambassador) on Red Square

This is russian cossack with (most likely) "Lemnos" cross (post #2). Every cossack http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cossacks can be (with proper training) a dzhigit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dzhigit Chuck, these are typical elements of cossack uniform http://forum.alexanderpalace.org/index.php/topic,3704.0.html Cheers, Nick
