Soviet KLIUCHKO Maksim Aleksandrovich

[Rodion]

Hello Gentlemen,

A few weeks ago I ordered, a research for an ORB awarded for the 50th birthday of the Revolution ?

[Rodion]

I received 5 service records but infortunatly no information about this ORB, except the same last name, name and patrionymic.

Starting the translation, I discovered an amazing career !

Born in 1897

In the "old" army : from may 1916 to january 1918 starshii unter ofitser (in english senior NCO or warrant officer ?) in the Guard PAVLOSKY regiment !

[Rodion]

In the red army during the civil war from 1919 to 1922 :

• Kursant
• Platoon commander in the 53th infantry regiment
• Company commander
• ZAVKHOZKOM ??
• Deputy battalion commander
• Battalion commander
• Deputy commander of the 20th turkestan infantry regiment

A tipicaly revolutionary career, he had 25 years old !

[Rodion]

Then he moved to the reserve

During the GPW :

1941-1942 : intendant third rank, deputy chief then chief of the 5th section of the 270th infantry division, southern front

1942- 1945 help please for the translation

1950 : senior lieutenant of the admninistrative service

He finished the war without award !

[Rodion]

So, what is your feeling gentlemen, the Kliuchko who was awarded an ORB in 1967 could be the same guy, participant in the civil war, in the GPW, but according to the service records never got an order or medal !?

What were the rules of attribution of the ORB for the 50th birthday of the revolution ?

How many ORB were awarded for this event ?

Best regards

Rodion

1922 Zavkhozkom = he was the regiment's chief of supplies and rations then-- their quartermastter.

1942-45 from the dates shown "found himself in captivity in Germany." That is repeated in the infamous Box 11 of his service record below. :beer:

Thanks a lot Rick !

You bring an important key to understand why he didn't get award during the GPW.
