Dear Mahdi
Nice pictures. The awards look like Polish stuff to me. The cross one is a high bravery award if my memory serves me correct. Its seem that a lot of Russians received Polish or Czech stuff.
I have not seen much Romanian or Bulgerian stuff awarded to Russians but I am sure there must be.
The rarest of all is the British stuff to Russians. I have only ever seen a Military medal awardec to a HSU guy. My records show the following:
Military medals (non coms,Army) x 4 *
Distinguished service medal (non coms,Navy) x 5 *
Distinguished service cross (officers, Navy) x 4
Distinguished flying medal (non coms, Air force) x 4 *
Distingusihed flying cross (officers, Air force) x 4
No Distinguished Conduct medals or any DSO's
* means that these medals are named. They say something like SgtXXX member of Red army.
I know that the British awarded a few OBE's CBE's and CB's but it shows that very few were awarded. I suppose this accounts for the fact that so few Soviet medals were awarded to the Allied forces.
If anyone has any if these medals please let me know.
Kind regards
Munroe
