    1. Here is the only picture I could find of lieutenant General G.S.Titov who was awarded the Mongolian Hero star in 1961.

      Titov was born on Sept 11 1935 in the Altai region, which just happens to border Mongolia. All right a local boy!!!....well almost.

      Here are some interesting facts about him and his career.

      He is the youngest person to have gone into space at 25 years 11months.

      He was the second person to orbit the Earth.

      He was the first person to get "space sickness",

      and last but not least how many people do you know that have a crater on the moon named after them???

      Well Titov has one, albeit on the far side...

      So here goes:

      This is our (My brother and I collect....collectively) first class Udarnik badge type 1.2 and a rather interesting document.

      This document contains a record of the workers productivity over the years '48 to '51,

      and by the looks of things he worked his @#$ off!

      I've been trying to translate the various texts but I've only had limited success.
