For Combat Merits,1941358,Starshina,Supply Platoon,150th Reserve Rifle Regiment

I got this today thanks to an extremely kind forum member.

It's a certificate for combat service basically.
I translate it as (and sorry for the shouting):
"The TIME CERTIFICATE of this Predjavitel FOR EXEMPLARY PERFORMANCE of FIGHTING TASKS of COMMAND AT THE FRONT STRUGGLE With GERMAN to AGGRESSORS"

So this is, I'm guessing wildy here, is something along the lines of a certificate for being mentioned in dispatches.

I'm guessing this man's platoon leader noticed he hadn't screwed up too much of late and passed his name onto the company commander who decided that while Comrade Vinokurov was a good soldier he didn't deserve a CSM. Yet.

All kidding aside this is very nice wartime (? can't read the month) document issued in 1945 for a real frontnovik.

I'm proud to have this and thank Steve sincerely for the kind gift(s).
