Kim and His Generals

[Lukasz Gaszewski]

Here is what I've found. A photo of Dear Comrade Kim Jong Il with his generals, during the military inspection of a chicken farm (!!!). Sorry for the quality of the photos - there must be something wrong with my scanner, I cannot use the descreening filter or the scan falls to pieces. Anyway, are you able to id the ribbons on these generals' tunics? Perhaps someone will know who these gentlemen are. Note that as far as Kim himself is easily recognizable, hardly anyone knows the people from his surrounding.

Hi Lukasz

Thank you for sharing this. I think that it would be very interesting to be able to put names and backgrounds with the faces. Hopefully someone can provide this information.

Best wishes,

It is hard to identify all of them. But some can recoganized. They are National Flag orders, Soldier Honor Orders, Freedom and Independence Orders, Military Merit Medal, etc.

As far as the generals, hard to find who they are~~

Yours, Tang Si

Probably the pronunciation is not precise.
