Registration card has wrong award day - June 16, 1945. Apparently this error occurred due to to the official protoco where date is written in such a way that it can be read both as 10 and as 16.

As we see he also got 1st class Suvorov order No. 118 on February 18, 1944 "for outstanding success in command and control and in carrying out a wide plan of landing and combat operations of the Anglo-American armed forces in North Africa and Italy against the common enemy of the Soviet Union and the United States of America - Nazi Germany/за выдающиеся успехи в деле управления войсками и в проведении широкого плана десантных и боевых операций англо-американских вооружённых сил в Северной Африке и Италии против общего врага Советского Союза и Соединенных Штатов Америки - гитлеровской Германии".

His order of Suvorov.
