Sure, Dolf! Actually, I've already described my grandpa's military career on the other English-language forum and posted all his documents, citations and pictures there. It was a few months ago. I can post a direct link, but advertising of other web-sites is prohibited according with the rules 
In brief, my granddad joined the war in 1942. He was heavily wounded in early 1943. On May 1944 he was awarded with "For Valor" medal 863369. At this time he was in rank of a sergeant and his position was an artillery scout of 68th Rifle Corps. Later he participated in liberation of Budapest and Belgrad. After the war he finished Military School and was promoted to Lieutenant. He served in Army for 10 more years and finally was transferred to reserve at the rank of a Captain. He died when I was 9.
