    In post #6-- medical results as unfit for duty, crossed out, another on 26.9.62 crossed out, and showing specialty as staff service and senior pay-clerk

    The rest of the stamps appear to be periodic reporting in checks

    His units are written in very thick ink, squashed onto too few lines, and covred by the stamp up in section 15-- I'll fill in more later.

    Interesting that he was a

    A) career NCO

    B) very bizarre shifts in duties and skills and training!

    C) "discharged" from the Red Army in order to go to China

    :Cat-Scratch: While I was typing my last, you added posts 10 on-- a bit clearer! Still much to go back and forth, back and forth comparing...

    March 1947 on he was apparently in charge of a battery (accumulator) in some (pardon the electrical pun) capacity. "Battery operator" just sounds weird.

    From January 1949 his job was as (TADAAAAAAH!!!)

    Radio Detection Finder

    and what I was interpreting above as "Construction" is apparently actually the abbreviation of some form of ANTI-AIRCRAFT ARTILLERY.

    Married to Valentina Ivanovna, sons Baklatan born 1953 and Altai born 1956.

    Victory Over Germany as Private, 922 Inf Rgt, "Boris Zhul'mukanov" on 28 January 1946 and yet 3 days earlier

    Capture of Berlin, same rank and unit but name written as "Boris Zhalmulkanov."

    K?nigsberg as Junior Sergeant in "Unit 40102" 21.9.50 spelled "Boris Zhelmukanov."

    The poor huy never got his name the same way twice!!!!!

    First MMM in May 1945 (so researchable) and Medals Book issued 26.10.46

    Light INDUSTRIAL technician training 1966.

    The inserted "duplicate" form also repeats the fiction that he was discharged and "re-enlisted" in the Soviet Army while :unsure::rolleyes: away from home.

    The unit abbreviations and WEIRD job functions are giving me trouble.
