Her brother Leonid Sokirkin was a gunlayer in 1110 Rifle Regiment, 226 Rifle Division.
MIA 13.Dec.1942 near village/khutor Astakhov, Rostov region.
Apparently quite many MIA from 1000 RR on that...
734 AA regiment spent most of the war in the Rostov-Kuban-Stavropol-Crimea regions. But it ended the war supporting the 1 Ukrainian front providing AA cover for the crossing points over Oder river....
Sokirkina was a spotter.
She was also awarded OPW2 in 1985.
