Another medal and some prize money

The last post of 2020 (18th December) featured the seven war medals of Henry Hiley.

Another one needs to be added to the list because in 1991 Henry received a medal called the '40th Anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War Medal', popularly known in the UK as the Russian Convoy Medal. It was awarded to all military and civilian personnel of the USSR Armed Forces who took part in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945, to partisans of the War, and it was also made available to sailors who had taken part in the Arctic Convoys from Britain to the Soviet Union.
