The feeling of bringing history back to life, after receiving a research is one of a kind. I too have only got one researched and I am anxiously waiting for my second one.
It's a nice order, especially because the soldier fought in the Leningrad front and his division later took part in the battle of Saaremaa in Estonia, a battle that I am interested in.
Congratulations once again!

I was looking over the records I got again. It says he was in the army from July of 1942- March of 1944 (disabled? KIA?) But then awarded the Order of Patriotic War 1st class in late 1946. Any ideas anyone?
-
Possibly awarded for severe wounds or concussions during the war? To my knowledge these weren't awarded for long service, as many others we're.
-
Thank you Aleks. I guess "severe" wounds can be anything from shrapnel, to loss of ligaments?
-
No problem and I just want to add that I am not an experienced collector.
I guess so. Also many awards we're just awarded later for wartime deeds, this also could be one reason.

Im far from expert myself lol. Russian medals are a little new to me, Especially researching them. Thank you again.

As per the database, he was awarded a Medal for Leningrad defence. He was 19 in 1943.
