rboomsma Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share Posted August 14, 2006 (edited) What you've got there are two award cards, but unfortunately no citations. I'm not surprised that there isn't a citation for the Finnish War For Valor medal, but not having one for the wartime award is a bit unusual, though not unheard of. Imagine what was happening at that time on the front... the HQ could have gotten overrun and...viola...no more citation! The best way to find out about these is to get his personnel file and service history. Somewhere in his PF there will probably be a listing of what fronts he was on, and perhaps even a synopsis of what his citations were. His autobiography will also probably state that he fought against so-and-so from such-and-such a time. Neat piece... very early war!!! I'd love to see the citation!DaveWell dave I got his personal file etc here is what he looked like:Just have to have my wife read it all for me now.
