Commemorative Badge "Gangut".
Gentlemen, I need your help:
What is this medals? Some kind of war veteran association´s unofficial medal? It is interesting for me because it has been given to a veteran who has served in Hanko naval base. The city of Hanko is in Finland and the city was occupied a short period by soviet troops after the Winter war. Jussi-Pekka Last edited by CtahhR; 03-29-2012 at 11:28 AM. |

"For defending island Hanko"
the medal itself named "Gangut" I think this name goes back to Peter the Great times.
