Guest Rick Research Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 Bill-- this is one BIZARRE group. If I was reading that Orders Book, I'd take the Red Star scribble to be "124,104" not 1,241,011... the November 1943 privileges date (i.e. first award October) doesn't match either serial number range... the Red Banner 199,994 is right smack SOLIDLY in the November 1944 long service range.. and yet You've got the records back PROVING that those numbers ARE what they are and GO TOGETHER. I'm stumped. All I can think of is that for some BIZARRE reason BOTH of his awards were long long delayed, and what he FINALLY got HANDED were much later numbered awards from much earlier approvals.
Bill Garvy Posted January 17, 2010 Author Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) Interesting hypothesis. . . I too thought it was 124104, but on closer inspection. . . You have to love Soviet record keeping. Now, if I could only find his Order of the Red Banner. . . Edited January 17, 2010 by Bill Garvy
Ferdinand Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 This is a great thing about research: the research confirms that the order booklet is OK, that the Red Star S/N is 1241011, and that his Red Banner simply was a delayed award... The actual handing out of the Red Banner took probably place at the same time as his Red Star, July 1944, the right time for a Red Star with such a S/N... Great. :cheers:

Guest Rick Research Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 Word missing in translation in your post #19 for line 22) is FAR Eastern Region (Regimental Cadet School etc) Sorry, simply can't SEE dark gray print on almost as dark gray "black and white" pages with my eye.
1977 Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Interesting! Of the Red Banner - 1945 \ №199.994 \ previously could not. Interesting that the paper in 1943 issued an interim certificate, which necessarily indicate № .. but it can not be so great ... It turns out that he lost and received in 1945, № 199 994.
