Yes, our documents for the Budapest battle are the same with respect to the printed content. But yours seems printed on a thicker paper (like cardboard), while mine is pretty soft and thin.
Quote:For the combat service medal temporary document, I believe there is no number mentioned because this could be given before actually receiving the medal and it was not known yet what the number would be. Does this sound probable?It's my understanding that the temp cert and the medal get passed out at the same time. See my CSM cert in post 3; it shows the medal's serial number. But obviously this isn't always the case.
Have you translated that document completly? Does it say anything specific about the number?
