Photographs Of Recipients Of Soviet Awards/Service Personnel.

Probably more accurate to say "Cavalier of the Orders of Service to the Motherland, 2nd and 3rd classes"

Hi Ibaya and others,

I have here a (maybe) stupid question : I thought the term "Cavalier" was used only when one was awarded the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Classes of an order, i;e; the 3 classes of the Order. Is it correct ?
Or can we say "Cavalier of the 2nd and 3rd Classes" (only), meaning that the term we see sometimes "Full Cavalier" relates to all the 3 classes ?

Said differently : is it correct to say Cavalier for 2 classes only ?

Just a question... :confused:

Cheers.

Ch.
