In combat on 3 October 1942 in the same area, comrade Ionychev eliminated well-aimed seventeen German soldiers.

re: Bravery Medal,Stalingrad,117953
Including mine, I think that Stalingrad bravery medals are the forerunner to the "Order of Glory". They are worth their weight in gold.
That said, Auke, will you take $100 each for yours? :D

Unfortunately it does not seem the citation has been digitalised yet. The Red Star has. Also awarded an OPWII'85.
Here's another piece to his Stalingrad story.
