Osipov, Nikolaj Zaharovich, Senior Sergeant, Scout, 615th Artillery Regiment

[Al-muell]

This group was posted earlier (long time ago in the ancient "researched award groups" thread) and was partly researched quite some time ago thanks to podvignaroda site (I actually used this group in an article popularizing the idea of researching the awards: O kolekcjonowaniu odznacze� i dokument�w inaczej - cz�� pierwsza - odznaczeni, opis, zdj�cia, opinie)

Anyway, the group consists of the order booklet, OPW1'85 booklet, two ORSs and 1985 OPW1. BM is missing as well as all the other awards.

Nikolai Zakharovich Osipov, Russian, was born in 1923 and was in the army since May 1943. In the same year he had joined the VLKSM. During the war he was a scout at the 120mm Mortar Battery.

1 and 2. His order booklet - as You can see the other ORS's number is unintelligible, however, I believe that it is the other star here. Otherwise it would mean I had spent a lot of effort and two nice and expensive documents in vein. But that is a different story.
