TomP73 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) Hi all Would anybody be able to assist me in translating/decoding any of the information on the attached medal document? I am interested to find out who this medal was awarded to, including rank and/or unit if possible. Thanks in advance for any help! All the best Tom Edited February 11 by TomP73 Asking for rank/unit as well if possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomP73 Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 13 hours ago, Egorka said: The veteran. Thanks @Egorka. I did find this recipient when searching the pamyat-naroda.ru website (that @Marcel B. made me aware of, thanks for this!). It lists: Air force 4th Air Force Main Battery Rap 98th Guards Artillery Regiment of the 48th Guards Rifle Division 10th Artillery Regiment 10th Regiment of the Leningrad Military District , 4 Apr GC , 98th Guards. OAP Long. Razv. RGK Main Command Reserve 98 gv. OAP Daln. Rev. RGK 2 VA Leningrad Military District 10 SBAP LVO Source: Yemets Maksim Parfenovich :: Memory of the People (pamyat-naroda.ru) I wasn't sure if it was the same recipient as none of the Military Units mentioned under his entry included the 331st Fighter Aviation Division, can we be sure it is the same man? I note the man in the photo is down as receiving the Liberation of Prague medal. Cheers Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egorka Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 331 fighter aviation regiment was his unit in 1946, i.e. post-war. There was a lot of reshuffling and downsizing in the soviet Army after 1945. People were moved around a lot. It should be the same guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
