Mongolia Banzragch Es

[Ed_Haynes]

Much remains to be learned, but at early (female) hero of labor and double Sukhbaatar.

Her hero document. As is common, the family has stripped the photos (as they were among the few photos of her that they had), though I have been promised some of the photos.

And the Sukhbaatar document, page one.

More is said to be coming, including pictures of her and her "lesser awards". Also hope to get an answer to the key question: WHO WAS SHE??

Watch this space.

All Labor Heroes in Mongolia are awarded by Sukhebaatar Order (authomatically). Correct name is Banzragch Es, but it did not say something to me... Maybe Labour Hero came from Western provinces (unusual name - Es)... AND Hero is not SHE, Es is mostly male name... So question is still open - WHO IS HE.

Thanks, "ub". Yes, the secomd Sukhbaatar was the one that accompanied the hero. Many questions need research.

Just in, direct from the family her photo from what seems to be the Sukhbaatar (x2) book:

And, more powerfully, HER, after a few years have passed.

Color restored as possible.

And, yes, we all get old, don't we?

The reverse to this photo -- a request for translation is outstanding.

Nice pictures. Translation - Labour Hero of People's Republic of Mongolia B.Es

Wonderful group Ed, and the pictures add even more character to it.

Now where is that "green-with-envy-smiley" when you need it

Congratulations Ed, another nice piece of history

Working on the earlier ("Sukhbaatar") photo, I suggest her additional badges (beyond the Obvious Three) as:

1- The Outstanding Herder (B # J22/23)

2- One of the aimag badges -- Z99, Z108 -- so where was she from -- Bayangol or Umnugobi -- or some similar NIB aimag badge -- possibly a school badge (R39, R44) or I44 or ???

Your guesses??

Need to contact the family (when my "source" gets back from Khalkin Gol -- the lucky dog -- lucky marmot?).

May these be clues to the "Who was she?" question?

I got new information about Banzragch Es from book about Heroes of Mongolia (unfortunately in mongolian). I will provide full information tomorrow. She was also awarded by Polar Star order. She was one of pioneers of agricultural cooperative (mostly livestock, - in particular camels). She was from Dundgovj or Dundgobi province.

Thanks very much. Any chance to get a copy of the book?

[Ed_Haynes]

And -- sorry to be greedy -- any chance of information on Suuigiyn Gombo?

Very cool! Someone who worked hard and got rewarded.

F.Scott Fitzgerald said it well-

Great group.

[Bob]

Anybody here still in touch with Ed? I've tried to reach him through several channels but no response sofar.

I've been offered this exact group for sale (minus some items) incl. documents and would like to ask Ed some questions (he's not the one offering it for sale).

Thanks
