Document for the Medal for Victory over Germany dated October 31st, 1946 and signed by the Commander, 97th Guards T(either unit honorific title or “Heavy”?) Tank Regiment, Guards Colonel Grigorevskii
Document for the Medal for the Capture of Koenigsburg dated October 1st, 1948 by the Commander of the 200th Mechanized Regiment, Guards Colonel Beloglazov, Serial #V406087 Note the additional pencil notations indicating “1926”, a possible reference to his year of birth, the dates “15.5.44-9.5.45,” and the recipient’s apparent address “Gurzurskaya St. 10/6 Apt. 2.” A final notation references “E135912 on 25.5.79,” perhaps referring to a Jubilee Commemorative medal at the age of 53 or 54...

Re: Senior Lieutenant Nikolai Mikhailovich Galukhin
Thats one is strangely different. His Medal was awarded by his own word. He must have been well trusted as it would be easy to make up a story and be showered in unearned awards.

Re: Senior Lieutenant Nikolai Mikhailovich Galukhin
