The fighting was approaching Leningrad, and the Gnarovsky family: mother, grandmother, Valeria and her younger sister, evacuated in September to the Tyumen region, to the remote Siberian village of Berdyuzhye.
Since the beginning of the war, Valeria has repeatedly appealed to the local military enlistment office with a demand to send her to the front, but each time she was refused. In the spring of 1942, the Komsomol members of the village of Berdyuzhye went to Ishim station and succeeded in enlisting them in the 229th Infantry Division that was being formed there. Valeria and her friends underwent military and sanitary training.
In July 1942, the division was sent to the Stalingrad front and immediately engaged in heavy fighting. Valeria Gnarovskaya was at the forefront and, under continuous deadly fire, provided assistance to the wounded, carried fighters out of the fire and delivered them to the medical and sanitary company. She bravely endured all the hardships of front-line life, inhuman stress and, forgetting about the danger, saved the lives of soldiers. After receiving a concussion, she was hospitalized, but soon returned to the front line. The regiment participated in continuous battles with the enemy. After fighting in the encirclement for about three weeks, Gnarovskaya fell ill with typhoid fever. The fighters broke through the front line to their own and carried the sick Valeria in their arms. Medical instructor Valeria Gnarovskaya was awarded the medal "For Bravery".

By September 1943, Valeria was on the 3rd Ukrainian Front, she had three hundred wounded soldiers and officers on her account, whom she carried out under fire from the battlefield…
It happened on an autumn morning in 1943. Our troops fought intense battles on the banks of the Dnieper River, and the enemy resisted especially fiercely on the outskirts of Zaporizhia.
The battalion in which Valeria Gnarovskaya served drove the Nazis out of the half-burned village of Verbovaya in the Chervonoarmeisky district of the Zaporizhia region. Several times the Verbovo changed hands, and here is our village. They took a deep breath and marched towards the Dnieper. An infantry company was in front, followed by an artillery battery. As soon as they left the village and approached the forest plantations, they came under machine-gun fire from a carefully camouflaged enemy ambush.
The battle was short but bloody. The Nazis fled, but ours also suffered losses. After burying the dead, they gathered all the wounded and gave them first aid. Tents were pitched in the forest plantations, the wounded were placed before being sent to the hospital. Senior medical officer Gnarovskaya remained with them.
"Swallow" was affectionately called by her fighters. Ambulances were supposed to arrive at dawn to pick up the wounded. But as soon as the sun rose, there was a growing rumble of an engine, and Valeria saw that two fascist "tigers" were moving from our rear towards the forest plantations. The first tank was heading straight for the tents, crushing bushes and crushing young trees.
Saving the wounded, Valeria Gnarovskaya with a bunch of grenades rushed under one of them and blew it up, the second was shot down by the Red Army soldiers who arrived.
By decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR dated June 3, 1944, Valeria Osipovna Gnarovskaya, a Red Army soldier, was posthumously awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union for her exemplary performance of command combat missions and her courage and heroism in battles with the Nazi invaders.
Valeria’s letters from the front have been preserved. Here is one of them: "Dear, dear daddy! I am in the army. I serve as a medical instructor in a company. There are two girls in the battalion — me and my friend Vera. You have to work a lot. I’ve become older. Wrinkles appeared under my eyes. We are well dressed: leather boots, sturdy, cloth dress, skirt, tunic, trousers — everything we need… Goodbye. I kiss you hard, my dear and beloved sunshine. Your daughter, V. Gnarovskaya."
