Unfortunately "The site" can not just help us understand what we have but also help us understand what's missing. Just a shame so many groups get broken.

A missing Medal "For The Defence Of The Caucasus".

I got a triple Red Star group recently and a photograph cross referenced with "the site" shows that missing from the amazing group is a Lake Hasan "For Combat Merits". Permanently MIA I believe.
