[SIZE="3"]He was also awarded another Order of the Great Patriotic War in 2nd Class, #771441, missing from the group, and a couple of Bravery Medals, #1244475, missing from the group, and #1454034, as pictured below. These can be seen documented in his above-mentioned Order Book.

I am looking for the citations and lists for these aforementioned decorations on the archive site, which, for me anyway, is a slow and ponderous process. I will post more information as it becomes available to me. This group is a work in progress. . .[/SIZE]
