Chelidze, Vladimir Evaf'evich, Private, Transcaucasus Railway Unit "Berija", NKGB

[CtahhR]

Here is a group of two Medal documents and Military Service Booklet to Georgian Private Vladimir Evaf'evich Chelidze. The fact that he was awarded the Medal "For The Defence Of The Caucasus" and Medal "For Victory Over Germany In The Great Patriotic War 1941-1945" is unremarkable as over half a million did but the fact that he was awarded his Victory Medal by Head Of The Transport Department Of The People's Commissariat For State Security Of The Transcaucasus Railway Unit "Berija" Lt-Colonel Gudzhabidze makes this set a little special. Chelidze most likely helped ensure the transportation of many deprived ethnic minorities on their surprise, free "holiday of a lifetime" in the "Far East". These first two scans are of his Medal documents.

This set is yet another outstanding purchase from my very favourite forum marketplace seller.
