RedMaestro Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 The citation. I translated this with google translator, but the result is poor. The general idea is that he received a shrapnel wound to the right side, left on sick leave, returned to battle, and was again wounded by shrapnel in the left leg. He was originally recommended for an Order of the Patriotic War 2nd Class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Great stuff!! Even the civilian labor award has military ties. I know that he would have received the victory medal as well. I wonder what other service/campaign medals he would have had? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
