Hi,
On the occasion of an other thread "Red Star, Civil War type 1918-1922" (orders section), it has been mentioned in John Clarke's (until now not so reliable) book :
"An early forerunner of the Red Star for gallantry was awarded during the Civil War of 1918-1922.
During this time of conflict, units of the Red Army were self-supporting and produced their own insignia."
3 points :
* Is this story real ?
* Were they gallantry badges, medals, or just units identification insignias ?
* Have you seen some of them ? Pictures ?
Many thanks.
