'Friend's' in high places...

Jamyan with Kim Il Sung and also a younger Jamyan with Ho Chi Minh... one can only imagine the stories behind this!

And here's an amazing one to add... Ukaz regarding Sodnomdarjaa's Order of Combat Valor as part of a broader anniversary awarding to 1921 Partisans

The fact that only 103 people made this list indicates what a rare group of individuals this was (and how rare the Partisan Badges probably are).

And to add to this, Sukhbaatar Yanjmaa awarded the SB is widow of Sukhbaatar. She was also regarded as partisan.

Just in: initial (more to come I hope!) research on the recipient of the documented screwback SB number 747 in my possession. History coming to life!

"Sharavjamts Shadavtsoodol was born in Tugrug village of Uvurkhangai province in 1921. He was drafted to the Mongolian People’s Revolutionary Army in 1939. Shadavtsoodol graduated from the Artillery intermediate school in Tambov town, the Soviet Union in 1945.

In 1958, the shooting sports club was set up under the Voluntary Society to assist the People’s Army (Mongolian DOSAAF). Major Shadavtsoodol was commissioned to the club where he served as a trainer in shooting from 1958-1964. From 1964-1973, Lieutenant Colonel Shadavtsoodol served as the trainer in shooting at the General Military School. He was discharged from the active military service in 1973.

Shadavtsoodol is considered as one of the founders of the Mongolian Shooting sports. He started to practice the shooting sports in 1955. In 1959, he scored 509 in AB-5 exercise and thereby winning the title of the Sport’s Master. He set the record of the shooting of the Mongolian People’s Republic three times. Shadavtsoodol also holds the title of the “Best Hunter of the MPR”.

Most of all, Shadavtsoodol contributed enormously to strengthening Mongolian shooting sports and its personnel."

He received his SB in 1971: 50th birthday SB? Maybe more on that later...

And now more on Shadavtsoodol: Ukaz regarding his SB

Excellent!

I can't take the credit for it. Just lucky.

I like how on the last decree sodnomdarjaa is explicitly referred to as a partisan!

In a thread about Sodnomdarjaa, who had received a 1920's Russian order of the red banner, interestingly enough Suurin Baldan was also mentioned in some research.

In 1948 he received a Polar Star for labour achievements as Director of the Military Cart Factory of Choibalsan province. This is Polar Star nr 1762 (which is not in my collection)

In 1950 he received a Polar Star for 10 years of service in the Mongolian army (6299, also not in my collection).

Suspect both were replacement Polar Stars mentioned in his orders book.

Hi Tom,

No - aside from Jamyan's I only have my own private passports as my "passport collection" and not looking to transfer either.

First time I see a passport collector here - my focus is more on orders/medals.

Best of luck,

Bob

I have the booklet (without the award unfortunately) for SB nr 605 awarded to Baldan Pagvajav in 1968. And... also the award decree now.

So that gives at least some bit of personal info on him (and possibly the opportunity for others to identify what may be the recipients of SB 603, 604 and 606 (but who knows for sure...).

Very interesting and wish I could read it!

Second, more details from the decree related to him being awarded the Gold Soyombo. Have a scan of the decree itself unfortunately in PDF and too large to upload.

This is probably very much a "classic" Soyombo recipient and it's nice to see that even (or: especially?) for relatively early awardings of the Hero of Labor title it was already considered that 'farming' is a highly appreciated activity worthy of such a high and rare award.

More info on Angir Arihad, the recipient of the Hero of Labor nr 83 posted directly above and - fortunately - in my collection.

First, from the "blue bible" which contains bio's on a lot of award recipients:

140.82
Angir Arihad (born in 1932) was born at Santmargats soum, Zavhan aimag. He was bestowed the title of the Hero of Labor of the Mongolian People’s Republic when he was working as the herder of the “Bayasgalant amidral” collective farm.

Arihad has been working as the sheepherder since 1957. He has been fulfilling quotas for herds, wool and milk for many years. Arihad became the Champion herder of the Mongolian People’s Republic in 1979. He was awarded the Order of Sukhbaatar and many other awards. Arihad is an uncle of Merited worker of the Mongolian People’s Republic P. Damdinjav.
