    Short description of personal combat feat or accomplishment

    Comrade Bogdanov was assigned the mission to cover the emplacement of mines on the lead edge of our defense near the village of Vuyna.

    Despite the enemy fire he personally laid more than a thousand mines and the mission was accomplished on time.
