Eddie,

Would you know the date of this speech so I can try to situate in time some of the events mentioned and compare with my sources?

Again thanks a lot for another great job!

Best,

Dolf

Sure Dolf,

The speech was given by Raúl Castro, minister of Cuba's Revolutionary Armed Forces, at a meeting commemorating the 20th anniversary of two Cuban internationalist contingents to the Congo. It was held in Havana, Nov. 7, 1985.

Eddie.

First class of the Award.

I have seen the first class (although not recently) in gold, and without the white outer stripe that SEEMS to have been used to distinguish a lot of Cuban 1st and 2nd Class medals...

whatever that actually indicated!

And a document for the 2nd class. To a Soviet friend, so no need to obliterate the name. With a close-up of a pencil note on the reverse of the document.
