Red Star,0136409,Squad Commander,1st Ukrainian Partisan Division - Bill Garvy - 09-03-2012
[SIZE="3"]The most recent addition to my collection was this Order of the Red Star to a Partisan Unit Master Sergeant. I will post the Award Card now and the actual Order of the Red Star when I receive it later this week. I am not hopeful, however, I will be able to find the citation, but you never know. The hunt continues. . .

I have been informed there is no citation in the Archive, sigh. . .

Podvig struck out with this one (I had to look of course!). That doesn't mean it won't turn up, but it doesn't look good for a Red Star with such a low number not being covered already.
It's good to have at least some information. It also looks like it is a "complete" group as of 1947. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, this seems to be a 1 all draw. Now for extra time.
