T 04 -- The Outstanding Health Worker

T 02 -- The Honored Donor (Silver)

Faintly numbered (eluding scanning) "5" on the reverse.

T 26 [sic, = T 29] -- The Center for Cancer Research

Nice. I recall squinting at these lovely pictures, wishing they weren't so artistic and soft-focus (and printed on textured paper). Not intended for the phalerists, I guess!?

Still:

T 21 -- The Outstanding Worker of Medicine

T 24 -- 40 Years of the Mongolian Red Cross

T 26 [sic, = T 30] -- Blood Donor

T 23 -- The Honored Blood Donor

T 16 -- Mongolian Red Cross

K 45 -- Industrial Combinat

K 12 -- The Outstanding Worker of Light Industry

K 37 -- Industry Pin

K 41 -- The Industrial Combinat

K 13 -- The Outstanding Worker of the Food Industry

K 19 -- The Outstanding Young Worker

K 27 -- The Outstanding Worker of Material and Technical Suppy

K 01 -- The Outstanding Worker of the MPR

A nice little set but, on the surface, nothing really exciting . . . .

Type 1.1.2, #10328

It is cased, but I do not show it here.

Here are some updates on the documented/cased Honoirary Medal of Labor #10328, with all the written matter, shown above.

The female recipient is Erdeniin Gombosuren.

The notes:

-- 807.60 Tugrik and 4 rams were collected from the sheep herder Gombosuren. The collection is completed. The bookkeeper of the collective farm. Bamshav.

-- The private petition to the trade union committee and administration through the chief of the second unit. I worked without interuption in the unit from 1950 to 1960, therefore I am asking that my working hours be written correctly into my labor book and that I receive the additional payment for the long working period. The private petitioner, the sheep herder of the second unit. Erdeniin Gombosuren.

-- Herewith I confirm that Erdeniin Gombosuren worked since 1950 in the pasture as sheep herder, cow herder. Senior veterinary. (left confirmation).

-- Herewith is to confirm, that comrade Gombosuren is herding the animals since 1950. Herder (right)

-- Herewith is to confirm, that Gombosuren is herding the animals. (down)

-- To the Soum administration: Herewith to confirm, that the persons Chuluunjuu, Choijamts, Gombodorj who gave the confirmation on Gombosuren are themselves workers of the livestock farm. The confirmation on Gombosuren is correct, the confirmation is approved. The secretary of the Soum administration.

And then, presumably, she got a medal?

With other (post sorting) badges "displayed" like this (one envelope per Battushig letter).

Better display options are under (intense) family negotiation

Display? Display! Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

I wish!

The "display" in front of me just now.

Dear Ed,

the downgrading in your "Glory-case" had been strictly against the regulations and statutes .

On 23rd of august 1941 comrade Stalin himself signed the Order No. 281, "Concerning the procedure for recommending combat medics and stretcher bearers for government awards":

"The following recommendations are implemented to encourage the combat efforts of medics and stretcher bearers:

.....................

3. Recommend the awarding of the order of the "Red Banner" for each medic or stretcher bearer who carries 40 wounded with their rifles or light machine guns fromt the battlefield;"

The 63 wounded in Grebenschchikova's case are even well above the mark of 40 in Stalin's Order No. 281 .

Best regards

Christian

Yes, Christian, the UNTHINKABLE did happen from time to time.

Hi Ed, any accurate date/number relationships established for these badges??

Not yet. Not until more documented sets (or just documents) turn up.

Ohhhh . . .

Being civilian, they are usually carefully ignored.
