      The back page of the 'folding-card' service service record is blank and I don't see any good reason to show it. There's much more. Recommendations and full service record (no photos) and all. I hope Greg god in his wisdom will share these translations soon.

      And a 'footnote' of sorts:

      The sole difference on this page on the less-legible one is the addition of a final stamp:

      The interior (no photo, DAMN, on either),

      Now, as to service records . . . the folded-card kind . . .what we'd call the 'short roll' . . . there are two. And one SEEMS more legible, but see below.
    6. Ed_Haynes
      And the reverse . . .
    7. Ed_Haynes
      And the second one, obverse:
    8. Ed_Haynes
      And reverse.
    9. Ed_Haynes
      OK, you asked for it . . . it will be rather complex . . . Two award record cards. Award record card 1 obverse

      So used to mochis in "my world", . . .

      If you have these with legitimate documentation and/or provenance, please show them. I'd to see them! My interests, to be honest, lie with INDIANS in the Azad Hind Fauj, not with German "allies".

      Ooooffffff. Sorry. But I guess this is one of the reasons we do research?
    13. Ed_Haynes
      Research is in hand -- and it is quite a stack -- but, as has become habitual, the translations lag behind. Not sure whether to post.
    14. Ed_Haynes
      So, two questions: 1- What does all this mean? 2- How did it get to Delhi? I suspect some can help with "1" and thanks in advance. We may never know about "2", but it has been saved from melting down as scrap and is on the way to having its history restored.
    15. Ed_Haynes
      . . . and, finally.
    16. Ed_Haynes
      Up the chain of command . . .
    17. Ed_Haynes
      Part 2.
    18. Ed_Haynes
      Recommendation, part 1.
    19. Ed_Haynes
      And the fairly blank reverse.
    20. Ed_Haynes
      Got back the research on the MMM 1492295 (but the bravery medal is still under search). Translations are (as usual) slower in coming, so I beg translation/summary assistance in the interim so I have some clue what I have here. The award record card, obverse:

      A very nice early Red Star. The recommendation should be interesting . . . !!!
    22. Ed_Haynes
      Thanks for this and, again, congratulations.
    23. Ed_Haynes
      I know, I have gotten some early RBL and BOH researched. But without a name it is hard to do; well, it is hard to do anyway, evan harder (= impossible?) without a name). Were this documented . . . .
    24. Ed_Haynes
      Nice one, for sure. Undocumented, research would be difficult just now, but some day, . . . ??? Still:
    25. Ed_Haynes
      This is incredibly disturbing! Sounds like a theft-to-order of items that could never be sold. Thanks for posting this, Chris, although I wish it hadn't happened.
