Kap L.I. Yelkin 118 RAP VVS SF

Can anyone tell me the forenames of Kap Yelkin please. Can anyone also confirm he was awarded the HSU on 22 Jan 44. I believe he did not survive the war, can anyone provide details of his loss (date etc)?

Best regards

Andy Fletcher

Hi Kirche,

Many thanks for the info, I'd say Leonid Ilyich is my man.

Cheers
