Krylov Nikolay Grigorievich

Krylov Nikolay Grigorievich was born in 1926 in Spassky settlement in the family of Grigory Vasilyevich and Elena Ivanovna ( maiden name Shumilina). He was a 3rd child, besides him there were 3 other daughters in the family. Grigory Vasilyevich worked in the collective farm as a groom and a saddler, sewing harness (equipment) for horses. Elena Ivanovna worked in the field. 24.12.1943 Nikolai was conscripted into the army by Verkhneuralsky RVC of Chelyabinsk region. At first he was in the city of Chebarkul, and from September 15, 1944 he was sent to the front. Before being sent, he and other guys from our village were brought home to say goodbye to their relatives. He served as a telephone operator of a 76 mm battery of guns of the 556th Bialystok regiment of the 169th Rogachevskoy Rifle Division of the Red Banner Division. "Comrade Krylov in the battles to break through the enemy defense on January 14, 1945 near Glazhevo-Viti, Warsaw Province, and in subsequent battles in East Prussia, proved himself as a brave and fearless phone operator. On January 14, 1945, he repeatedly replaced telephone communications in place of disabled one by enemy artillery fire. For three days without rest, not noticing how tred he was, he provided uninterrupted communication between the battery positions and the observation point. During this time, he fixed under enemy fire up to 13 gusts of the telephone line and twice directed the telephone line, thus contributing to the accurate firing. He was awarded the Medal "For Merit in Combat". After the war, his second reserve rifle regiment was left to continue serving in East Prussia. In his last letter, Nikolai wrote to ask that no more letters were written to him. He was going home. Then, his father received a notice from the military committee: 'Please inform citizen Krylov Grigory Vasilyevich that his son, Krylov Nikolay Grigorievich, Red Army soldier, died while performing his official duties on February 1, 1946 and was buried in St. Stettin - the port. Chief of Staff of the Second Separate Reserve Rifle Regiment Major Konovalov". He died, having gone on duty in the last guard.
