The Battle Of Dukla Pass was just one of many large battles of the Soviet Offensives of 1944-5 but one of only a very select few honoured with a campaign Medal. Lieutenant Mihalidze is a good example of the constant push westwards.
The Battle Of Dukla Pass lasted 8th September to 28th October 1944 and saw Mihalidze lightly wounded on 4th October. Mihalidze had only served at the front from August 1944 but had a very active 10 months.
After being wounded during the Battle Of Dukla Pass, he was then awarded a Red Star for killing 6 Fascists in combat on 18th November 1944. In 1945 he also received 3 gratitude thanks from Stalin.
25th January 1945 "Gzhanuv" (Which is most likely Grybów).
28th January 1945 Dąbrowa Tarnowska.
7th May 1945 Wrocław (This may seem like a long break in action but the Siege Of Breslau started on 13th February 1945).
