Gents,

It's not all too often that you come across a Colonel whose Soviet-awarded orders and medals equal that of his foreign-awarded orders/medals/badges. For Colonel A. M. Bogdanov, that is just the case.

Wow, I wonder how much time he spent in the Polish Army during the WW2.

also, it seems he got Lenino version of the "Meritous on the Field of Glory" medal.

What really stands out for me there is the zip. You don't see many 1940's pictures of women wearing zip-up tops.

I think it's a "For Combat Merits" as the "For Bravery" is a good bit bigger.
