First his EK II awarded for action in the Ilmen Sea (just 32 awarded in this action that took a complete company that was almost wiped out by the russian and the weather, they suffered an amazing 94.1% of casualties, he suffered from frostbite)

I let Carlos to explain us something more about his relative, later we post other pieces from another of his unclles who also fought, and died, in Russia.

The EK2 document for a member of the Ski-company is really fantastic.
I kept contacts with another survivor of this company, called Ricardo Bautista Molina. They lived in my village, in Extremadura, and I can see a lot of interesting items wich belonged to this veteran.

Do you have his medals too? Or any more items belonging to him and his family?

[Gregorio Torres]

Unfortunately I haven´t any items from this family, I just can see his paper and medals. I remember specially this: He brought a lot of soviet army items, like medals, a hat, badges, red stars...
Today, I have lost the contact with this family.

[Dan E. Moe]

Can you post pictures of the medals?

Sorry, I didn´t take any photografs of these items, and now, as I said before, I don´t know where is this family. I´m a donkey, I know, but... the damage is done.
Regards.
