Hi Ed

OK I should buy it but I am just collecting the most common Mongolian Awards (see picture)

Hi JC

Thank you very much. I am not very familiar with these "non combattants" badges.

Hi JC

Anyway, thank you...

As I try (and try) to make coherent sense of the aimag badges, I have -- wonder of wonders -- found a Wilipedia site that is of great use:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aymguud_of_Mongolia

In addition to having nice aimag-by-aimag maps, it also has valuable aimag-level maps (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumuud_of_Mongolia) that show the next lower divisions, the sum. Some badges come from the sum level and without a map you have no hope. As the lowest administrative unit, the bag exists not geographically but only on paper (record-keeping groups of families), we don't ned to worry about them.

Hi

Very nice link....the sums description is very useful indeed.

Hi JC

This person got a 1921 Partisan badge. They should not be so commonly awarded?

Hi Rick

Thank you very much for the link !

Any idea about the others?

Hi everybody

Could somebody tell me what are these badges, extracted from a picture of a Mongolian man in traditional clothes ?

Thank you in advance

And last for now, a partisan/Khanlkhin Gol veteran and a ceremony at the Zaizen monument

Hi everybody

Would somebody tell me who is this guy wearing traditional clothes?

Thank you in advance
