re: Glory III,Kerch Peninsula,108815
ok, I don't get it. It stated that he was awarded an ORS but actually got a Glory III?
How does that happen?

re: Glory III,Kerch Peninsula,108815
Likely it was a typo by the clerk or 'Head of Personnel' as it is here. As there were likely many hundred going through the system I guess would be easy to make a mistake.
