Guest Rick Research Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 A 44 year old "Guards Airborne" PRIVATE!!!!! This is a superb citation. From his times of service, yet another guy who lived years under the German occupation before the Red Army's advances of late 1943-1944. The stories that these "common" awards tell us!
Stogieman Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 I have yet to research the 2 Glory groups I have. Perhaps in the next round.
SWE Erik Posted June 30, 2006 Author Posted June 30, 2006 I wonder if his Red Star has an interesting citation... It can't be a long service award, can it?/Erik
Guest Rick Research Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 No-- he only served for about 4 years-- 2 as a draftee in the 1920s and then at the end of the war.Do you HAVE his Red Star??? After what he got his Glory for ... WOW, would THAT be interesting to find out!!!!!!
