This is the reverse side....


Translation Help - CtahhR - 08-26-2013

Second line - "Worthy of the governmental award Order "Red Banner"

Stamp at the bottom indicates Red Banner 24th May 1943.

Yup, top two lines on the back page are the downgrade to Red Baner.

Thanks CtahhR & Tommy :thumbsup

Actually, the writing at the top of the reverse recommends a downgrade to a Red Star, and the note on the bottom says he was indeed awarded a Red Star.

That's cleared up some confusion on my behalf. Cheers! :)

I suppose I need to put my glasses on and wipe the sleep from my eyes in the morning...

From a Lenin to a Red Star is a significant drop.

Extracted from podvignaroda, better scans of the Red Star citation and verification of an Order of the Patriotic War in 2nd Class, 1985 Jubilee issue, no mention of the Red Banner regrettably. . .

Oh crap, Aukes right. I jumped to the answer when I saw the word Red. That'll teach me to type when I've just woken up!

From a Lenin to a Red Star is a significant drop indeed, but this honestly wasn't a citation worthy of a Lenin.
