Thanks, Mo! It was the first one that popped up on ebay... it was a "buy me now" at a GREAT price, and must have been listed super recently, so I jumped at it!

I hope you get it researched. I am still saving up for my three. These things are beautiful aren't they?

"Workers of the world, unite!"

Lol, yes!

I'm just hoping the person who my new Order of the Red Star belonged to did something cool... I'd be a little let down if it ended up being something like: "Maker of the best borscht in all of Soviet Red Army"

I would LOVE to have an award with a story like that! Would be a nice change of pace after all those cable repairmen, artillery observers and guys who killed a few fascists!

A very nice Order of the Red Star! I don't know, Auke, one of the most recent pieces of research I requested was to a female Master Sergeant, a nurse!

[GIZMO8Z]

Thanks! It should be here tomorrow! CAN'T WAIT!

My paperwork finally came in! Could someone be so kind as to translate for me?

[Bill Garvy]

Sent you a personal message and an e-mail with some translation resources. Let us know what you find!

From what I can see, your man was awarded a Red Banner (156116) on November 2nd, 1944, a Lenin (31924), I think, on April 30th 1945, and this Red Star on September 2nd, 1945. On the Award List he is second from the bottom on the first page.

Thanks for the messages, Bill! I appreciate it!
