OK, I have to admit that, after recent experiences, I am a bit "gun-shy" about posting anything at all over here. But since it is Gerd asking -- and he asked very nicely -- here goes: The OPW 2 to Lieutenant General Ivan Ivanov Kravchenko -- see http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=6207 and http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=8627&st=02 -- # 409128, awarded 15 July 1945 (52nd Army). Have recommendation, on the above-cited thread, but as yet untranslated . So, have at me; I have my flak jacket on. More to come when retrieved from storage. -

After going through the sections in Battushig's book where he deals with awards for long service, I have been trying to sort these things out. After checking with him directly, here is a clarification: In 1947, long service awards of existing orders were were allowed for the mlitary (= generals, officers, sergeants but NOT those below sergeant), including interior forces and border guards: 30 years - Sukhbaatar 25 years - RB Combat Valor 20 years - Combat Valor 15 years - Polar Star 10 Years - Medal Combat In 1951 an extra decree allowed for long service awards for medical personel and for teachers: For medical personnel in Gobi (G), Khangai (K), and Ulanbaatar (UB): Sukhbaatar - 15 (G), 20 (K), 25 (UB) RB Labor - 10 (G), 15 (K), 20 (UB) Polar Star - 5 (G), 10 (K), 15 (UB) Labor Medal - 3 (G), 5 (K), 10 (UB) Gobi region = Umnugobi, Dornogobi, Dundgobi, Gobi-Altai, Sukhbaatar, Bayanhongor provinces. Teachers (any place): 30 years - Sukhbaatar 20 Years - RB Labor 15 years - Polar Star 10 years - Medal Labor In 1957, long service awards were extended to other professions (agriculture, engineering, railway) using the same regulations as the teachers. In 1959, all awards for long service were abolished except for the military. After 1959, for military ONLY: 15 years - Combat Valor 10 years - Medal Combat RB of Combat Valor, Sukhbaatar, Hero of Mongolia could be awarded for "distinguished" service in exceptional cases. Hope this helps.

Please do NOT post names of specific researchers to this thread. Contact Rich by PM with details, as I shall, with names. An interesting general discussion would, however, be valuable . . . .
