Re: Red Star, 619573, Medic, 944th Rifle Regiment

Why does his record card say "no rank" if he was a private?

Re: Red Star, 619573, Medic, 944th Rifle Regiment

Could it be that he didn't hold any military rank at the time?

Its a pretty amazing medical award :)

Thank you for posting :)

Re: Red Star, 619573, Medic, 944th Rifle Regiment

His service seems to have run from 1943 - 1946 and his record card was verified in 1947 while he was a student at the Lvov medical institute, would this explain the "no rank"?

Cheers,

Tom
