    Short description of personal combat feat or accomplishment

    Serving as Deputy Commander for Political Units in combat 9-11 September, 1943 and fulfilling the Command’s combat mission to build a crossing with his forces across the Desna river Krymskii Bugor, Gremyachevskii Region, Chernigov Oblast under enemy artillery and mortar fire, he personally led his crew in delivering construction materiel, preparing the approach to the river and construction of the crossing, resulting in the headlong work of his personnel and capable organization of the crossing and its construction in the shortest time. Afterwards while at the crossing, despite the enemy artillery and mortar fire he personally directed equipment, munitions, personnel, and horses across the river without any losses, thus enabling the successful advance of our infantry.

    I am thus submitting Comrade Nikolai Porfirevich Gladkii to be awarded the Order of the Red Banner.
