I still believe that the badge worn by Yevstigneyev is that of the Order of the British Empire. Take a look on the British Monarchy web site where you can see a better image of the badge of this order.

I would like to continue the topic with the top Russian ace Alex Pokrishkin (59 aerials ) who always fascinated me, the father of the new air tactics after the painful losses of VVS begining of the war , a great pilot,tactition , perosn and commander. When the war has started he was in Moldova stationed ( Moldavian Republic) . Attached is a photo after his marriage received from a friend who knows Svetlana Pokrishkin ( daughter)
