    1. Seems so 1st - 1839-42 2nd - 1878-80 3rd - 1919 4th - 1979-89 5th - 2001-?? See: http://faculty.winthrop.edu/haynese/medals/Afghan/first.html et seq.
    2. Nothing covers "the area". The Sylvester book (and I, too, have trouble remembering title) is just Vietnam as I recall and just in the context of the US war there.
    3. H 09 -- Mongolia Similar to H07 (above), but in green.
    4. H 03 -- 50 Years of the Proclamation of the Republic, 1924-74 Similar to the H 02 shown above, but star rather than "50" and plain reverse.
    5. M 02 -- The Outstanding Young Service Provider
    6. K 33 -- The Manufacturing Cooperatives of Zavkhan Province Could also be treated as an aimag badge?
    7. J 17 -- 2nd Conference of Animal Husbandry Specialists, 1962
    8. C 22 -- The Best Student of the MPA Another of those badges that are numbered where I didn't expect it: 1631.
    9. I suspect that, much as is still done in other similar situations today, allied Soviet officers were "attached" or "embedded" as "advisors" to various "friendly" units. Nice one, for sure. And service record too! (where is the :envy: smiley?)
    10. So, back to the issue at hand, I guess the next step is for some one (or some ones) to put in for complete research on these known mult-Red Banner chaps. It will be a very different matter if their seventh and eighth Red Banners are numbered XXXXXX or if they are numbered XX or even just X? That should tell us what we want to know? Awards records cards on these chaps would reveal all? Or at least something??
    11. Really? See: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=12356 http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=11059 http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=11060 http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=11063 http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=10376 By the era of the Fourth Afghan War it seems typewriters were fairly common?
    12. Yes, the #1 destination for Soviet phaleristic museums. See other threads for more pictures. Especially: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=9297
