Re: Medal "For The Defence Of Stalingrad" Document.
Actually it was issued by the Military Commissar of the Stalin Oblast (which is currently the Donetsk Oblast in Ukraine), Colonel Korotkov. The recipient was probably a decommissioned soldier (so technically a civilian, and that may have been what you meant).

Re: Medal "For The Defence Of Stalingrad" Document.
Cheers for the correction I had a bit of difficulty reading the award region going on only the first picture.
Civilian as in not in service at time of awarding. If they were "at home" in Stalin region they may well have been wounded onto the labour front as very frequently occurred.

Re: Medal "For The Defence Of Stalingrad".
Defense of Stalingrad Medal document, awarded on June 4th, 1943 to Guards Captain Grigory Iosifovich Moskalenko, Serial #A29708. Can anyone identify the awarding unit or signature? I think it's an artillery unit.

Re: Medal "For The Defence Of Stalingrad".
That's all correct.
There is very little information on the 295th Guards out there but this tit-bit is insightful; Маргарита Ивановна САДЫГОВА родилась в Ногинске. 13 июля 1941 года была призвана в ряды Красной Армии. Службу начала санинструктором на пароходе «Мечников», на котором тяжело раненных воинов перевозили для лечения в приволжские города. С выходом немцев к Сталинграду работа усложнилась. Над Волгой постоянно висела вражеская авиация, которая, несмотря на знаки Красного Креста, подвергала санитарные пароходы ожесточенным обстрелам и бомбежкам. В одно из таких нападений Маргарита Ивановна была ранена, но осталась на пароходе, продолжая исполнять свои обязанности. С наступлением зимы судно поставили в затон, а Садыгову в качестве санинструктора батареи направили в 295-й гвардейский артиллерийский полк, который в то время вел бой у стен Сталинградского тракторного завода. При одном из жесточайших обстрелов позиций наших артиллеристов Маргарита Ивановна, оказывавшая помощь пострадавшим, сама была тяжело ранена. Выздоровев осенью 1943 года, старшина медицинской службы М.И.Садыгова участвует в боях под Гомелем, потом на территории Польши. Как и прежде, не думая об опасности, она везде делает свое благородное дело. При форсировании Вислы Маргарита Ивановна вновь тяжело ранена да еще и контужена. Для лечения ее направляют в глубокий тыл, в Сибирь. 2 февраля 1945 года Садыгова уволена из армии по состоянию здоровья. Награждена орденами Отечественной войны 2-й степени, Красной Звезды, медалями «За отвагу» и многими другими. Из родного Ногинска, несмотря на раны, в 1948 году по комсомольской путевке она едет в Казахстан и до 1955 года работает в геолого-разведочном отряде. Вернувшись в Ногинск, трудилась на строительстве Ногинского завода железобетонных изделий. С 1958 года и до выхода на пенсию работала на мясокомбинате. Инвалид Отечественной войны, Маргарита Ивановна Садыгова принимает активное участие в общественной работе. Является членом совета Общества инвалидов войны города Ногинска. Stalingrad Tractor Factory is certainly something that rings bells.....

Re: Medal "For The Defence Of Stalingrad".
Thanks, Tom, I see that now on the stamp, and I also notice, last line above signature something to the effect of, "Commander 137th. . ." I think you're right on the signature.
The releveant passage from the above, and I quote, thanks to Google translate, "Sadigov battery was sent to the 295th Guards Artillery Regiment, which at the time was fighting at the walls of the Stalingrad Tractor Factory." Thank you both, very much, for this interesting information. Any ideas on the date? I think it's March 4th, 1943, handwriting again, sigh. . . |

No problems Bill :). Always nice to see a story behind a simple bit of paper!
I think the date's either June or July but i can't be sure! The 137th Tank brigade fought under Chuikov as part of the 62nd army in Stalingrad, but image not sure if that links to the "commander of the 137" piece. Army structures escape my small brain. |

Re: Medal "For The Defence Of Stalingrad".
Some good information on those citations. His position was deputy commander of the 137th Guards Artillery Regiment under the 70th Rifle Division post-Stalingrad.
