I love the hand writing in this one!! You should have this researched! A nice early number! It has bound to have a combat citation.

Shagdarzhad Bato-Oshrin was born in Mongolia in 1912. he was, by an amazing coincidence, Mongolian. Member of the Mongolian Communist Party since 1934.

At time of award he was a Commissar 3rd Rank (which in police would be the rank I mention next) of

STATE SECURITY

which would be a Major General, I think!!!!!

Resident of Ulan Bator.

ORS number 96,982 with Temporary Certificate 360,684 replaced by Orders Book # 101,664
