Unfortunately, analyzing the documents, we found that there were no military awards, apparently they had been stolen just before death at the end of the 2000s, it never occurred to anyone to check for the awards, and it was not customary for the family to ask grandfathers about the war and rewards. Unfortunately, they learned about the exploits after death, a few days ago, due to the fact that there were documents and copies of award sheets.
