Rank: Red Army Soldier._x000D_ Branch of troops: Artillery _x000D_ Tyagunov Semyon Fedotovich was born in the village of Volkhonshchino, Tambov Region on September 27, 1926. Mom was Alexandra Danilovna, dad was Fedot Dmitrievich (disappeared in the war in 1941), brother was Alexander (most of the photos are signed "In good memory to brother Shura from brother Senya"), sisters were Marusya and Tonya. He studied in the village of Sokolovo, finished 7 classes. At the beginning of the war he studied, was a cadet of the 15th Department. Motorcycle Training Regiment. In October 1944, he was sent to the front as a motorcyclist of the 421st Guards Heavy Self-Propelled Artillery Regiment from the 66th Guards Self-Propelled Artillery Brigade. _x000D_ On the website Memorial, information was found that the grandfather was listed as missing, but they sorted out the confusion, although, as far as is known, this terrible notice was sent to his mother, Alexandra Danilovna. After the end of the war, he served in Poland as a driver of the 678th motor Transport Battalion (October 1945—October 1946), 253rd Division Motorcycle Battalion (October 1946—March 1950). _x000D_ He married on May 9, 1950 to Tyagunova (Satina) Alexandra Ivanovna (labor veteran), who worked as a Teacher of History and German; she is now retired. They lived in the village of Vyachka, Kirsanov District, Tambov Region. Grandpa worked as a chauffeur. _x000D_ Grandpa had never mentioned anything about the war, and I didn't ask. And now I would very much like to listen to his stories, but too late now. I remember he loved to reread the book by Nikolai Yakovlev "Marshal Zhukov", dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the Victory.
