Gents,

It's not all too often that you come across an Order of Kutuzov 1st Class awarded to someone who, for all practical purposes, was a civilian. As a mechanical engineer, he was the leading figure behind all aspects of Soviet rocket artillery development - Katyusha included.

Appointed Colonel in 1945.

A Lenin Prize, Stalin Prize, three USSR State Prizes, six Orders of Lenin, an Order of October Revolution, Order of Kutuzov 1st Class and two Orders of the Labor Red Banner number among his awards.

You offer a perfectly acceptable alternative way of phrasing it.
