Nice award! My guess is he served in an artillery battalion, not division (the Russian word was probably divizion, not divizia).

In that case division doesn't mean divisiya
Red Army artillery units are following:
fire platoon, battery, division, artillery regiment, artillery brigade and artillery division.

Thanks Auke and Azad. I really am happy with this small but pertinant grouping! I have not seen too many political officer groupings.

Hi Bill,

I do not have any documents for any of this set. It is all archival paperwork.
