It would seem the report I read on just where Ak-Monaj Station was was incorrect, not a railway station in Kerch but on the Kerch line. Ak-Monaj was renamed Kamenskoe in 1945 and is 100 kilometres west of Kerch. The scene of the "Ak-Monaj Line" after the Feodosija landings. It was retaken by the Germans in their May 1942 offensive. The area is now in ruins.

It would seem this driver was even more mobile than previously thought.
I've also updated the map showing areas of action indicated in the citation.

I was drawn to the name "Ak-Monaj" tonight whilst watching the documentary series Soviet Storm - WWII In The East Series 2 Episode 2 "The Defence Of Sevastopol". I advise this series to anyone.
