Here is the Medal "For Combat Merits" #3159520. The "shovel" that is very frequently and incorrectly promoted as for the war against Japan.

Novorossijsk fell on 10th September 1942 so Matskevich won't have been far from the city when wounded. Logishin is in the Pinsk region of Belarus.

A reunite and another shovel!

У №042768 Medal "For The Defence Of The Caucasus" awarded by Logishin Regional Military Commissariat on 16th November 1948 (Although there will be dealers out there that will be pushing that this shovel was to a veteran of the war with Japan - Za $$$a!)

Here is the Army journal for the day of the wound. The evacuation of Novorossijsk cost the 47th Army 3063 dead and 350 wounded - it sounds like he may have been lucky.
