here's where it gets a little rough.

and lower portion of citation.

[koopyetz]

If my translation is correct, Comrade Butikov repaired 18 breaks in communication lines while under artillery fire at great risk to his life and

in doing so maintained communication between the Division Commander and the Battalion Commander.

[koopyetz]

on the citation where it refers to wounds and contusion in patriotic war I believe it says 3 wounds and lists Stalingrad front1943, 1st Ukranian front 194(?) and 2nd Byelorussian front .

Gentlemen:

There is a document uploaded as part of this current post of research for Butikov I am curious about. The document appears to be a partially filled out award card with a rectangular stamp with the words наград вручена. Does the tamp indicate that the award has been presented or will be?

How does this document fit in to the award process.

Thank you for your help

He was a gunlayer in the 4th Independent Annihilator Anti-Tank Battalion of 42nd Rifles Division when authorized to receive the MMM per the division on 15.6.44, but since he got it without a serial number when the ARC was filled out for that 15.1.53 it was long years before he saw it! He was then a collective farmer at the "Frunze" Kolkhoz.

His Glory was as a telephonist in the 165th Howitzer Artillery Brigade from the wartime ARC, but it's too late and the bled-through ink on the citation is too confusing for my tired brain to cope with this night--after a week away.

City of Prohodny, it is wrong. It will be correct, village?(деревня, село) Prohodnoe (Проходное).

If it is necessary to translate something, ask do not hesitate, than I can I shall help.
