Easy If you have Windows XP you can do it by right clicking on your original pic, then choose Resize Pictures and opt for one of the 3 or 4 available options, Small, Medium, Large, or Custom.

Or, if you have Photoshop (which is what I use for that kind of things) you can also resize your pics with it.

Another option is to email the original pics to a kind member here who will gladly do the resize thing for you, but I guess it's always better to learn ourselves how to do it, just mho.

Anyway, as you don't have pics now I hope it will help for later when you'll have your Medals back.

Thanks for the poiners Dolf, but for some reason when I right click on the picture it does not come up with resize, is this because I have English XP?

And I must say that Gerd did a grest job yesterday with my ORB's

Order of Victory

Order of Victory,

No way! I also have XP in english, and I do have that option. Unless it's a question of Professional XP or other types of XP, I have the Professional one and it works, so I just don't know!

Anyway, when you right click on a pic, there is a list of things you can do, right?

Well, the 4th in the list is Resize Pictures. If you click on that option, a small window will open where you can opt for the kind of resize you wish, those 4 I mentioned above. You just have to check the option you wish and then OK, and the resized pic will appear on your folder.

[order_of_victory]

Dolf,

No it doesnt work even on XP profeesional at my work

I must be on the wrong side of the pond

[paddywhack]

another way is to simply open the pic right click and click on edit then that brings you into paint and then on the top click on the image option then simply click on strech and screw! thats how easy it is!

[order_of_victory]

Short description of military distinction:

On April 18, 1945 during the battle for Karpig and the height 66,3 the enemy launched a massive attack, placing our sub-units in a precariously dangerous position. With utmost speed, comrade Kulishenko deployed his battery and began firing on the Hitlerite soldiers using open sights. Despite heavy shelling on our positions, comrade Kulishenko?s battery never ceased firing. As a result of the battery?s well-aimed fire, the enemy?s attack was halted and over 30 German soldiers were exterminated.

On April 28, 1945 on the approaches to Vendish-Buhgolz, while maneuvering with the infantry, the battery and infantry sub-units were attacked from the flanks. By his own initiative, Comrade Kulishenko deployed his battery, and dispersed the attacking enemy with well-aimed fire. Over 20 German soldiers were destroyed, and numerous enemy soldiers were taken prisoner.

He deserves the Governmental award Order of Alexander Nevskii.

Since I am SINFULLY proud of owning this one I shall post it here.

It's been seen elsewhere and has some serial number fiddling but as I say I just love this thing.

What do you think about this Nevski?
