My sister gave me this for my birthday - it was brought back by a Vet who served in WW2 - its been a bit of a trying time, so I have not had the time to ask her more about it.
The pictures of the name and location are hard to read via pictures. This is what it looks like --- LADOGA. SEE. NEWA. WOLCHOW. FRONT. TSCHNDOWO. 1942-43 ------------ Google search says https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkhov_Front Lake Ladoga Offensive from 1942-1943 Another website states -- The Battle of Wolchow (Volkhov) near Lake Ladoga (Leningrad) in July 1943. |

Nice. The Newa or Neva is a river that runs from Lake Ladoga.
Tjoedovo is a town nearby, was a railroad hub. |
