Red Banner,10825,Western Siberia.
May as well put him here. I have the full group.
"EXCERPT "From Decree for 209/8th Turkistan Rifle Regiment of 15 July 1920, #29 Paragraph 1, regarding the combat personnel. "I announce the copy of the Decree for the 1st Army, #210, of 6 July of this year for the administrative department. "Paragraph 1. Based on the RVSR [Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic] Decree on 1919, #511 concerning the decree #2322 of the same year, the following servicemen are awarded the Order of the Red Banner for their combat feats: "2. Commander of 9th Platoon, 209th Vitebsk Rifle Regiment, LAVRINOVICH Vatslav Bronislavovich. "On 15 June 1919 during the fight near Uzbekovo comrade Lavrinovich commanded 9th Platoon of 209th regiment. He skillfully led his platoon on the right flank of the battalion combat order, inspired his men by personal example of courage, and managed to withstand and repel an enemy attack. After intensive artillery preparations using heavy and light artillery the enemy launched a second attack. [Lavrinovich] without regard to his life stood firm as a true warrior, put himself in the most dangerous spots, and held the position. The enemy desperately attacked for the third time in his sector and got as close as 40 paces from his position. At that point Comrade Lavrinovich shouted 'Hurray' and jumped out at the enemy, leading his company and the entire battalion. With a lightning and powerful bayonet charge he broke the enemy resistance and turned it into a panicky flight. During the pursuit Comrade Lavrinovich was all the time at the head of the infantry line. When the enemy made an attempt to stand near the villages of Bol'shoye Utyashevo and Zelim-Karamovo, he was on both occasions the first to throw himself before the enemy and continued to lead the pursuit of the destroyed enemy troops. "Commander of the 1st Army Zinov'ev. “Member of the Revolutionary Military Council Paskutsky. "Chief of Staff Shefolovich. "True copy: clerk [signed]" Last edited by medals73; 12-27-2009 at 08:46 AM. |

Re: RFSR Red Banner,Western Siberia,10825
Were you ever able to get his entire service record? That would be real interesting to see. :thumbsup
I found it via the link.:thumbsup I've seen great groupings but this one encompasses everything-outstanding. Last edited by Norm Braddock; 01-02-2010 at 11:41 AM. |

Re: RFSR Red Banner,Western Siberia,10825
Yes, I have the full service record, copies of numerous evaluations, soul-searching autobiographies (especially when he was ducking the purges), etc.
Some day I'll find a way to get this stuff translated and then write it all up. Quite a tale will emerge, I think. |

Re: RFSR Red Banner,Western Siberia,10825
Didn't realize archives had stuff for these awards... what's the best researcher to go through for this (have an old style Red Banner awarded to a Mongolian which I'd still like to attempt to get doc's for).?

Re: RFSR Red Banner,Western Siberia,10825
My guess is that there won't be much on your notable Mongolian, Bob. So far, getting more than a two-sided page on a Mongolian out of the erstwhile USSR is unlikely (from the other place, however...?). Since my chap made it (barely) to the GPW, G*****y was able to work backwards from his name and get a good 5 cm of Xeroxed (though unreadable by me) goodies and it was too much for him to translate, though G promised to do it "later". Right. And a good bit of what I know if from the documents that came with it. His widow was a pack-rat (and wanted to keep her apartment too).
