70th Anniversary Russian Medal
The Russian Embassy are at present sending out the Commemorative 70th Anniversary of the Great Patriotic War medal to all surviving Russian convoy veterans. Just received this one in the post for my old mate John. I will be going to visit him in his old folks home to present it to him soon as. Still had no word on his Ushakov Medal as yet.

Re: 70th Anniversary Russian Medal
Just heard from a Brit friend.
Apparently they was a good program on the 'telly' last night about the MN at war.
Anyone see it?
