Mahatadze, Georgij Konstantinovich, 141st Separate Machine Gun-Artillery Battalion

I am very proud to present this awesome grouping. It would be cool if this BoH could be researched, if it was awarded on a military basis.

Hi Paul,

Nice group! :thumbsup The BoH is unlikely to be military, but let's see the other page of the doc.

Re: Georgij Konstantinovich Mahatadze

There is his OPWII record from "the site" showing him being born in 1921 in Hashuri GSSR.

I very much doubt the "Badge Of Honour" is military. Providing clear scans of all the documents would help in finding out what the options are on the Ukazes for it.

Re: Georgij Konstantinovich Mahatadze

Plenty of labor decrees on that day. There is enough variety that it's impossible even to take a guess what the medal was for, except that it was probably awarded in connection with the 5 year plan. But so was basically every other medal...

Looking at the question from the other side, I'm not aware of any military decrees on that date. And as already stated, the likeliness of a military award was minimal to begin with.

Even without specifics, it's still very neat to know that the recipient did have a successful post-war career!

Nice group, Paul! I was wondering if you would please post a scan of the Caucasus document. They happen to be one of my favorites.
