Guest Rick Research Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Interesting that BOTH of yours were issued to discharged veterans, with ranks, by their local Veterans' Commissariat-- and BOTH are to senior NCOs (Guards Starshina and plain old Starshina) with "A" cards usually given to officers.Vasily Markovich Polisen'ko's was issued by the Mariunopolsky City VetsCom on 28 June 1947. I can't quite make out the unit on his tattered equipment issue booklet-- 80th Guards OI(P?)MD of the 73rd "St(alingrad)" Guards Rifles Division. He was apparently in the supply department. He got an "A" issue Orders Book as well, normally given to officers in the samples we've seen so far-- for his MMM and Glory 3rd.Starshina Grigory Nikitovich Nosu(p?)enko's was issued from a local (Something-Ivanovsky) Raion VetsCom that I can't read in 1946.Glad to see you guys are continuing to find things from our friends in the Ukraine without violating the Les Mis?rables "Export of National Patrimony rules" of Putinia.

Ferdinand Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Just a little correction: I think OoV's guy's name is Polichenko, with on the award record card accidentally 'Polechenko'. Ed's guy is called Nosulenko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Polichenko-- right you are! And yes, MMM and VM-- this is what happens from my scribbling notes on scrap paper and then typing too many replies down the page. Local Veterans Commissariat (RVK) Is Andreev(+ last letter?)-Ivanovsky-- someplace large enough to have had TWO branches, apparently. Unfortunately these "locals" rarely give the CITY, so no clue where this neighborhood was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
