Dzemalashvili, Vahtang Dmitrievich, Junior Sergeant, 1367th Rifle Sevastopol Regiment
Here is a group to Junior Sergeant Vahtang Dmitrievich Dzemalashvili (Младший Сержант Вахтанг Дмитриевич Дземалашвили) consisting of Order "Red Star", Medal "For Bravery", Medal "For The Defence Of The Caucasus" and two "gratitudes".
This was a forum marketplace purchase in which it was described as "EXCELLENT ENLISTED COMBAT VETERAN SET FROM VICIOUS SOUTHERN BELT/CRIMEA FIGHTING!" so we'll have to see if research corroborates this. Firstly we have the original marketplace photograph and his "gratitudes". 1944-04-11 For Kerch. 1944-05-10 For Sevastopol.

Re: Junior Sergeant Vahtang Dmitrievich Dzemalashvili.
Here is his Order Booklet.
Both awards are present and correct. His Georgian name is often translated to Russian in various ways so that has made research a bit more interesting than usual.

Re: Junior Sergeant Vahtang Dmitrievich Dzemalashvili.
Commander of a fire team Submachinegunner Junior Sergeant Comrade Dzemalashvili Vahtang Dmitrievich, during the battle of 3rd October 1943 in the area of the cossack village of Vyshesteblievskaja, He with his squad engaged with volley fire the enemy firing position's flank, thus allowing a devastating, decisive rush to close with the enemy.
Born 1924, Georgian, Member of VKLSM, Joined Red Army 1st August 1942, Gori Region Military Commissariat, Received no wounds. The hand writing of whoever wrote this is rather poor. I don't know if they were Georgian and unused to Cyrillic or on the move at the time but it is quite scribbled. Here is the location of the action, right at the end of the Taman peninsula and only a few miles from the Crimean peninsula and Kerch.
