Re: Guard RC

Hi all,

i also have one cuban Guards badge in my collection. I told to some cuban friends if they know who is decorated with this badge and other infos about it but he didn't known.
A couple of this guys spent a lot of years in cuban armed forces and it's not a good thing that they didn't known nothing about this badge.

I also have a huge collection of pics show cuban armed forces from '59 till today but no one have this kind of badge.

It's not a good thing for us :confused:

Re: Guard RC

Yes that is strange,
Castro wore one as the pic shows.

Not too easy to see but there are some other photos about with a clearer shot of the badge.

Regards Eddie

Re: Guard RC

Guys,

As far as I remember, Castro was given a Soviet Guards badge.

Just out of curiostity, what other Soviet awards was he given? I know Stalin would have given a body part to get the Order of Victory back from Tito and I was just wondering if Castro had been given any significant "attaboy" awards.
