Guest Rick Research Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 He was still on active military duty in 1958? Had 25 years of active military service? No additional long service Military MERIT Medal, long service Red Star, 20 Years Service Medal?(Zasluga is MERIT not sluzhba/SERVICE. Drives me NUTS. Short trip. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ostfront Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 I'm not really sure about this eather. It's written on the award card that he was in the red army from 43 untill november 45. So that would explain why there's no long service awards. But I'm not sure why there's a veteran's medal and some others. Some of these medals are undocumented so it is possible that they were just added to the group, for some sick reason. What is your opinion about this?

Guest Rick Research Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Whew! Better those common medals are just tossed in there as clutter than that he was MISSING awards! So NOT entitled to the 1948, 1958, or Veteran of the Armed Forces. What documents have you got? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riley1965 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 The pic of the group. I like it very much. It's a nice veteran's group.OSTFRONT,I am working on a book about the Soviet Medical Service. I would like to add yours, with ALL due credit, to the book. Please send me a PM. You have a very nice group and research!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Every living WW2 veteran would have had the 25th Victory jubilee badge from the Ministry of Defense, and the 1968 Armed Forces Jubilee.The 100th Lenin had to be earned, so that one is questionable but I'd keep those three with the group.The 1948, 1958, and Veteran of the Armed Forces could not have been his. No big deal with common medals.Let's see what clues we can get about his life from the stamps on the documents you do have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 So NOT entitled to the 1948, 1958, or Veteran of the Armed Forces. Did the member have to be on active duty to get those awards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Yes. That's why he could NOT have had those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ostfront Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 Thanks Rick for all your help. A few medals were probably added to this group, but I got the group for a very low price so there's no harm done.About the stamps, I spent 3 hours making this display and putting the medals and docs into the frame, so I'm not very enthusiastic about dismanteling the frame How bad do you want to see the stamps? Every living WW2 veteran would have had the 25th Victory jubilee badge from the Ministry of Defense, and the 1968 Armed Forces Jubilee.The 100th Lenin had to be earned, so that one is questionable but I'd keep those three with the group.The 1948, 1958, and Veteran of the Armed Forces could not have been his.

Guest Rick Research Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Uh, you didn't scan them FIRST? It's not my group, so I don't care. The Victory might have added a unit to his service career, and of course all the postwar jubilees would have at least where he was living.You should take out the incorrect medals, anyway.
