Medal for Combat Service, Type 1, Var. 1 (with engraved serial
number, small suspension and "Mondvor" screw plate), #20763,
awarded in March 1942 to a Partisan Platoon Commander.
In November - December 1941, when the Soviet partisan movement
was still in its infancy, he led a number of bold strikes on
enemy garrisons in his native Stalino (Donetsk) region of
eastern Ukraine. During the Soviet general offensive in
January 1942, he provided substantial support to the regular
Red Army units by conducting reconnaissance in the same area
and finding a route of advance for the Soviet tanks. A highly
uncommon award commendation! The medal includes original
Variation 1 suspension and screw plate and aside from the
missing back plate, is in excellent condition. Comes with
archival research.
