At the age of 19, she returned home from the front. Disabled person of the 2nd group (concussion, wounds). I haven't been married for a long time. Vera Korneevna herself recalls:..I have a splinter in my spine. Or rather, not a fragment, but a bullet from a German sniper. We fired explosive rounds, and they fired explosive rounds. And it got into my overcoat: here. My wound was 14 by 7 cm. If he hadn't hit the button, I wouldn't have been there, I would have been torn. They fired both explosive and armor-piercing rounds.

She got married at the age of 24. My husband, he served in the army somewhere after the front. Well, then he came back, and that's how we met. I returned to my village. And he came here to see his brother, who worked here as a specialist. We met and got married.
