Re: Red Star,0054859,Battery Commander
Thanks, Tom, but I think the chances of that happening are slim and none, regardless, I extracted the documents and had them translated to give us a clearer picture of the depth and range of his valor.

Re: Red Star,0054859,Battery Commander
Nice one Bill, another great addition to your collection!
Battery commander -> Battalion commander -> Regimental commander in around 18 months. I guess it shows the casualty rates in a regiment such as this. Simon |
