According to Sharp in vol. IV of his Soviet Order of Battle the 43rd GRD was formed from the only Latvian division in the RKKA after 1941 - the 201st RD - on 5-10-42. After mid 1943 the division never left the Baltics, entering Riga in Oct 1944. Also says they fought in the Courland, though never mentions fighting other Latvian units.

Nice award BTW!
