paul wood Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 Hi Paul, Auke (Ferdinand) suggested you ask the next question... So, your turn, please... Cheers. Ch. An easy one as I am not the greatest Soviet expert by many millions of millions of miles and Brezhnev was an inspired guess after some pretty vile Belarus vodka. How many Brtish Citizens were decorated in the years of the Great Patriotic War with Soviet Orders and Medals and name the the four recipients of the Medal for Valiant Labour and what they were involved in to receive them. Best of luck Pavel Mamut
