Short description of personal combat feat or accomplishment
While constructing an observation post near Vildaitik, Private N.A. Glavatskii was given the mission to create an observation hole in the attic of a four-story building, reinforce it with overhead cover, as well as the wall itself. His suspense was short, there were no provided materials, and the locale was under enemy shelling. Despite all this he displayed initiative and while observing camouflage discipline he accomplish his assigned task in an excellent manner.
He is deserving of the Bravery Medal.

Got a BM for blowing a hole in a roof. That's pretty underwhelming.
