Furthering my education in this subject, and continuing with Marc's suggestion that I look to the Mondvor site for information, I submit the following for your consideration:
(I realize that this is a very common document, but I'm finding the study pretty interesting.)
"Udostoverenie k Medali" (Permit for Medals), Type 1, serial number 444,156 (about 35,000 over the range given in the Mondvor site for this type), printed Moscow, Gorznak, 1945.
For the award of the Medal for Combat Service, #2,555,368. "Ukaz" date 1946, issue date 1946.
I don't know if the serial number deviation from the number range listed on the site is of significance and should be concerning. In all other aspects, the booklet conforms exactly as those illustrated and described on the web site.
Hope I not boring anyone to death with my new found fascination. If so, I apologize.
Finally, could someone please translate the recipient's name for me?
Mike
