Short, concrete description of his combat feat or merits:
Comrade Churina voluntarily enlisted in the Red Army in 1942. She has been serving at the front
since November 1943. She has been serving excellently as a company military medic.
On January 5, 1945, during an enemy air raid on Garwolin, comrade Churina, despite the fact that she
had been deafened by a series of explosions, bravely provided emergency medical aid to 16 wounded soldiers. She
retrieved them from under the wreakage and sent them with an incidentally passing transport to a hospital.
For the courage and bravery she displayed while helping wounded soldiers, Junior Lieutenant of the
Medical Service Lidia Nikolayevna Churina deserves the Medal for Courage.
