Burba, Grigorij Antonovich, Head Of Military-Field Post, 3rd Belorussian Front
Hi all,
Here are two Orders that have been reunited due to the extreme kindness of both Lord Norm of Kapusta and Sir Rick of Koopyetz... with many deeply felt thanks to both of you fine Gentlemen! :thumbsup I am deeply honored to have these fine Orders in my collection and even more honored to have you both as my friends. First... I'm honored to introduce Colonel Burba: BurbaGA6 (772 x 916) (386 x 458).jpg And the awards... they've been singing "Reunited... and it feels so good!" ever since they arrived. :D Reunited 1.jpg Reunited 2.jpg

Re: ORB & ORS Lt. Col. Grigorii Antonovich Burba... two reunited Orders
Note that the overall commanding General of the 3rd Belorussian Front that signed off on this is Ivan Danilovich Chernyakhovsky:
http://en.wikipedia...._Chernyakhovsky 092307_52_b (371 x 600).jpg 7363100115121647 (300 x 220).jpg vilnius06a_cern.jpg Pro-soviet antagonists of the independence and war veterans assembled themselves in June 1991 at the monument of war hero general Chernyakhovsky in Vilnius. The square with the monument in the centre was called original also 'Chernyakhovsky-square' and the general had been buried there by the monument. The monument was erected in 1950 and designed by sculptor Nikolai Tomsky and architect Lev Golubovsky. After the independence one decided to call the square 'Savivaldybes aikste' - Municipality square. In the years ninety the general has been dug up and is transported with the monument to Russia. A Russian documentary on the General: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPkLrpsRtd8 Timeline of the 3rd Belorussian Front: http://www.google.com/#q=3rd+belorus...wCg&fp=1&cad=b Needless to say I'm extremely grateful to Norm and Rick for their EXTREMELY generous gift of these researched awards and to have the honor of having them reunited in my collection. I pray more of the group with show up over time... and God does indeed work in mysterious ways! Dan :)

Re: ORB & ORS Lt. Col. Grigorii Antonovich Burba... two reunited Orders
Congratulations! And praise for all involved.
It is always sad (tragic, even criminal) when groups get broken up, but some dealers and even some collectors, it seems, just have no care for history. I suspect that some (at least) of his other orders may be out there. Good luck in locating them! |

Re: ORB & ORS Lt. Col. Grigorii Antonovich Burba... two reunited Orders
An outstanding layout of the colonel's information. It's not very common to get two higher orders like this back together - and to care so much about the history behind them. Good show to you and your generous benefactors.:cheers
