Order Streamers For Unit Banners.

[Tal Inbar]

First time ever - I saw this picture (the writing is not mine), with orders attached to a unit flag - not the usual wide ribbons but actual orders like Lenin, Red banner and Kutozov. Outstanding!!!

I don't have any awards awarded to military units, but I do have an award and gold tassel awarded to a newspaper. The award was a flatback Order of the Badge of Honor (Znak pachyota). Both were mounted on a stiff piece of cardboard about 8.5 x 11 inches--it looked like something the editor in chief would hang in his office.

Hi

Do you have the award document? If you do, could you scan it?
To what newspaper the order was given?

[tinmoldova]

I don't have the award document. The order was awarded to a non-RSFSR newspaper--and I would prefer not to say which, though you can probably glean from what UR it was from based on my profile.

Tal,

I've had several awards which were awarded to units. I didn't know it until I had the award researched.

Take care,
Ed
