    Mongolia in March 2007


    Recommended Posts

    While this may only occasionally touch on militaria, I thought it might be interesting, for those who have never had the chance to visit Mongolia, for me to post some ongoing images from my March 2007 visit. I was in Ulanbaatar last summer, and Mongolia is surely a different place in the summer than it is in March. Today's high temperature is expected to be -12? (9? F) and the low -26? (-15? F).

    Here is sunrise over Ulanbaatar, 10 March.

    Christophe: Yes, from the hotel room. (The Bayangol, if anyone is interested. Closest to the [plastic] "Irish Pub", Jan :cheers:) The building right in front of posts 1 and 3 is the Children's Palace, the subject of a number of badges, and one of the cherished creations of Tsedenbal's wife.

    Today, the Mongolian Military Museum.

    Other exterior exhibits were "gone". You may use your imagination?

    Next: Some "heavy medals" at the Mongolian Museum of History. (Had been there before -- with Jan -- but neglected to pay the high and silly camera fee. Went back, paid it, and again passed quickly by the pre-revolutionary stuff to get to the core items.)

    Don't think IDs are needed?

    OK, a couple more before I collapse of jet-lag . . .

    Still at the historcal museum, some clothing. Choibalsan's overcoat in the center. While it LOOKS like what we see on Battushig's p. 20, it shows no signs of having had any awards (no holes, punctures, etc.).

    Said to be Tsedendorj's own Order of Literacy (not "Literary") Merit Order (not "Medal").

    Ed,

    :jumping: GREAT pics!!! :jumping: Please keep 'em coming!!! The Order of Literacy Merit seems to have part of the pattern of the Order of the Polar Star. What is the significance of this design?

    :beer: Doc
