Although he has a very common name it would seem as though there is yet another missing piece.

The citation for his missing Medal "For Bravery".
"Assistant Platoon Commander, 2nd Rifle Battalion, Senior Sergeant Grigor'ev Petr Grigorevich, for during the battle for the town of Kasplja, was first to burst into the town, silently entered into melee fights with the Germans and the example of courage shown in front of the others" As this event happened some time after he received his Red Star it wouldn't be overly fanciful to suggest damage to the enamel may have been done in hand to hand combat with Germans. Not quite what is expected from a "Chef".

Notthe first "heroic cook" story I have seen, but the first with awards for something else than delvering hot meals uder enemy fire. Also interstig how his fuctin changed to deputy platoon commander.
