JapanX Posted September 29, 2012 Author Posted September 29, 2012 Just in case ... "... during the capture of building that was the main center of insurgent resistance ... personally headed... wiped out scores of insurgents ... completely cleaned up the building"
JapanX Posted October 8, 2012 Author Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) Good Lord. Has Gordon seen this yet? Have no idea But I bet there are very few of those who saw this exellent 3rd class Slava order issued for the supression of the same "counter-revolutionary mutiny" Edited October 8, 2012 by JapanX
JapanX Posted October 8, 2012 Author Posted October 8, 2012 Interesting mistake ain`t it?! The cavalier was a para sergeant. Radiotelegraphist ;)

RedMaestro Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Very interesting mistake! How much did this set sell for? Thanks for posting :beer:
JapanX Posted October 9, 2012 Author Posted October 9, 2012 How much did this set sell for? For quite terrible (as per usual) sum of money... Around 2,3 k Cheers, Nick
Paul R Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Are there any more Soviet awards for this uprising? Was there a campaign or general service medal awarded to all of the Soviet participants?
RedMaestro Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Are there any more Soviet awards for this uprising? Was there a campaign or general service medal awarded to all of the Soviet participants? I think there were something like 2000-3000 Red Stars, and a smattering of other awards ranging from Combat Service Medals to generals' awards (Kutuzov, Suvorov). Unfortunately, I forget the details. Assistance, anyone? Also, what reference do those numbers come from? (preferably published)
JapanX Posted October 10, 2012 Author Posted October 10, 2012 Are there any more Soviet awards for this uprising? Was there a campaign or general service medal awarded to all of the Soviet participants? No campaign or general service medal for this "campaign" Paul.
