Photographs Of Recipients Of Soviet Awards/Service Personnel.

Hmmmmmm......:confused:


I see that no one tried to cope with this confusing picture...I will try to think loud...:

I hope somone has the Cavalir's of order of glory books, and that the name is correct. Also, he is a HSL, so it will help. As all of us know, the order of glory was not awarded for the 4th time.

I think there is a possibility that the man in the picture is wearing an order that was not awarded to him, maybe to a member of his family - as an honour to a veteran who died (?). Of course, if that is the case it is against the regulations.

Another possible explanation is that this man is a cavalier who lost one of the awards, got a duplicate order and later found - and wear - the original.

Or - he was entitled to become HSU, but due to beraucracy was awarded - by mistake - another order of glory. This hypothesis is unlikely, but we do know about cases when person was to be awarded HSU gold star medal and instead got the order of glory, 1st class.

Mahdi, could you check the exact name of this veteran? From what web site - if at all - you got the picture?
