[SIZE="3"]Picked this one up on a popular auction site recently and was wondering if some one might help me translate the name, signatures, and so on.

Thanks for your help![/SIZE]

I'd go Guards Sergeant Hodolev, Vaslii Iosefovich. 37th Guards Red Banner Rifle Division signed by Guards Lt-Colonel Brumko.

[Auke]

And I'd say Guards Sergeant Vasily Iosifovich Khobolev, June 8, 1943, unit as CtahhR said, and signee is Brushko. :thumbsup

Thank you, gentlemen!

Here is fairly polished example. I'm sure the recipient took quite a pleasure in polishing the Medal for participation in the iconic struggle on the Volga.

I got a Defense of Stalingrad in the mail today.

[COLOR="DarkRed"]My first Stalingrad so I'm happy. It's in poor condition I know but the price was right. This came all the way from Israel.

Help with the names would be much appriciated. :thumbsup[/COLOR]

Vasilij Nikitovich Spesivtsev, 26th December 1944 by Stalingrad Regional District, possibly a civilian.
