Nice awards from great unit! Are you going to share with us the details about his Bravery medal?

He got a Medal for Bravery on 29 August 1944. Look under "Сычев Николай Логвинович", born in 1926, 8th Rifle company, 267 Guards Rifle Regiment, 89 Guards RD.

Podvognaroda can be your worst enemy as well as best friend.

The amount of free research is truly unimaginable but bureaucratic mistakes can make things difficult at best. Then there is finding out about all the things "missing".
There was a group I purchased to a Guards Cavalryman, that I only purchased because I was promised up, down, left, right, A, start that it was complete. Five years later I get the disappointment of finding out it's missing two orders and a medal. Not so complete!

A great tool to find out what you do and do not have.

"First to rush in" to Chisinau - VERY nice. I have a rather soft spot for all things Moldavian.

Sounds like a real "Liberator".
