Order of Glory, 3rd cl., Type 2, #45871, Feb. 1944 award to a female Red
Army private, a medic of a rifle regiment deployed on the Oranienbaum
beachhead west of Leningrad. During the January offensive that broke the siege of
Leningrad, she provided first aid to many soldiers, often protecting them from
enemy fire with her own body and personally carried over 60 wounded to
safety. The order is in very fine to excellent condition and includes original
suspension with old ribbon. Note its extremely low number and very early date of
issue. Comes with archival research and English translation. An extraordinary
award to a woman combatant.
