Shadow Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Hello all, I recently aquired some documents and I'm trying to determine if they correspond with an award (Order of the Red Banner, 5th award) that I got at the same time but not as a set. Here is a picture of the document. Any help would be much appreciated. (I'm not sure I have downloaded this properly in order to be able to enlarge) Thanks in advance for your input.
