Medal swapping...
I have find this set of 3 pictures yesterday whilelooking for something else. There are few things interesting about them - first is of course the uniform diversity - 2 well-worn gimnastiorki, one probably front-line manufacture gimnastiorka, officer's jacket (the guy was probably professional NCO holding an officer's post) and something that looks like modified German jacket.
What is even more interesting is the case of lending an award to a friend - if You look carefully, You will probably noticethat the well-decorated sr. sgt (in officer's service jacket) has given his CSM to his friend in unusual jacket for this photograph - If You check the last pic, You will see that the medal has already returned to it's owner.
