Ed - you are right!
My grandfather was a guard colonel of Red Army. During all GP war he served at Far East as a commander of 1635 artillery antitank regiment - the 35 Army - the 1st Far East Front.
He awarded 1 Red Banner for actions in Mongolia and Red Banner , Red Star and Lenin for long service in Red Army. He have never served in Europe but awarded 2 medals - VoG and VoJ.
My grandfather's awards:
Red Star ¹ 875 893 02.11.1944
Red Banner ¹ 250 492 Order ¹ 0162/í - 31.08.1945
Red Banner ¹ 237 691 30.04.1947
I think the reason was that he made an important contribution to Victory - prepared a lot of officers for Red Army.
