Ed,

Quite true regarding the Order of the British Empire. It is definitely the most common British award I've noted among Red Army personnel. After it, I've also seen the DSO and possibly the Military Medal (for enlisted personnel).

Please see the attached image for what I believe to be an award of a MM to a Double Red Banner, Double Slava enlisted man. What do you think?
