Bob Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Hi Bryan - would you still be able to have something Korean translated? I have an award document (as well as the actual award) for a Order of Flag first class awarded in 1951 (so during the Korean War!) and awarded to a Mongolian (!) and would be very interesting to see if the award document provides some clues as to why a Mongolian General was receiving the highest DPRK award during the Korean War Will post scans of the Mongolian-Soviet-DPRK group later today. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
