Re: For Bravery,U/N 1965,Deputy Company Commander,147th Guards Rifle Regiment,Wounds
I believe Chief Of 3rd Section would be head of Cadre in more understandable terms. The personnel administrator, so a rather static desk job.
How on earth anyone can get rolled by tank tracks and keep their legs let alone continue serving is well beyond me. Nice to see it wasn't just the Georgians dropping the ball with the post-war wounds awards. For Bravery may seem a strange choice of award here but it was at a time when Red Stars were becoming more frequently Long Service than action awards and you don't get this Medal for sitting behind the desk for decades, Glory out of question to a commissioned combatant and the options aren't giant. Hopefully he was alive to receive this Catch-Up Wound award.
