[CtahhR]

[CtahhR]

(ברית וטרנים מלחמת העולם השניה בישראל)

Here's another obscure awarding body. Kohane Village, Tokmak Region - entire population 467.

Document for the Badge "50th Anniversary of the Liberation of Ukraine" awarded to ethnic Uzbek Shamsudin Kurmagamedovich Nuraev by the Uzbek Chirchiq Regional Military Commissariat on September 6th, 1995.

This example was awarded to Aleksandr Alekseevich Litovchenko on 29th August 1995 by Guliston City Military Commissariat, Uzbekistan.

Folded in a rather strange way.

[CtahhR]

Strangely enough, Litovchenko, despite the name wasn't Ukrainian, wasn't Uzbek but Russian. Born in Novosibirsk in 1922. A driver in the Armoured Transport Scout Company of the 17th Guards Mechanised Petropovsk Red Banner Orders Suvorov, Kutuzov, Bogdan Hmel'nitskij Brigade, 4th Guards Tank Army, 1st Ukrainian Front. A unit that certainly sounds like it's been in action.

Awarded the Medal "For Combat Merits".

[CtahhR]

Also a Red Star - both for post Ukrainian liberation actions.

Also awarded an OPWII'85 but with the incorrect patronym.

This example was awarded to Jadviga Antonovna Kruglikova by Odessa on 9th August 1995.
