Some confusion here: Was He Evstafiy Timofeyevich or Herman Fedorovich?

Also, could You please post the original citation? It may help to identify the towns.

[CtahhR]

Personally I think posting images of the record card is even more important than the citation. With most awards we can find the citation ourselves via the record card but we can't do it the other way around.

For this reason that is why there has always been the emphasis on posting images on all original documents - even over pictures of the award itself.

Sorry guys, id left some text on my template from a previous translation!

He's definitley Evstafy Timofeevich.

Will post the docs later but i'm on my phone currently.
