matteti Posted December 20, 2007 Author Share Posted December 20, 2007 Not a very special group, but still an interesting one because it's rare that we get documented Glory 3rd, and even rarer that we get a photo of the vet with it. It came with all documented medals and badge that he has on the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's very fast service!My understanding is that there was a decision (Ukaz) taken in 1947 to give Order of Glory 3rd class to all war invalids. I thought this was the reason why he got his order. But why was he recommended for a MMM if this is the case? Might it be that there was MMM for a group of invalids while order of Glories were for another group?
