Wound Stripes.

The Soviet Army was unusual in the way it honored its wounded soldiers. The Wound Badge is a 50-mm long strip of cloth with either a red or a golden line in the center. Can anybody post a picture of a uniform with these strips sewn on? This award must have been low on the honor scale because pictures of soldiers wearing the Wound Badge are hard to find. Does anybody have the requirements that were to be met for the two levels and is the Wound Badge entered into the award booklet?
