While I was amusing myself reading Aleksis funny posts and doing some research for a young lady who I met in LA two weeks ago about her Great Grandfather who might have been a Strēlnieks (Nāves Sala) and her Grandfather who was in the Legion, I came across this story from Latvia.
I have yet to prove that the Ggrandfather and the person on Nāves Sala are the same but will keep looking.
I know Peter C would be happy to know that they both received medals for their efforts. Ggrandfather received “Jūras Krustu” from the Russians and grandfather the “Iron Cross” from the Germans for their valor.
