Bob Hunter Posted September 11, 2005 Posted September 11, 2005 Wonderful group, Ed and solid research.
Guest Rick Research Posted September 11, 2005 Posted September 11, 2005 I think it is great the way we can complement each other's information this way!
Ed_Haynes Posted September 11, 2005 Author Posted September 11, 2005 And it is extremely nice to be able to share things with appreciative e-friends. (Some how, my wife doesn't understand me . . . and the medal-friends in my custody . . . !) And we do have the duty to keep the memory of the recipients of these medals alive.

NavyFCO Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 Ed-Terrific group! I remember seeing it on the table before you bought it. Had I only known then what was under the table paperwork wise, I would have bought it in a heartbeat. Ah well... Win some, lose some! Personally, I think this is one of the best Soviet groups out in collector's hands.Dave
Ed_Haynes Posted November 1, 2005 Author Posted November 1, 2005 Part 5/4 (OK, I lied, but mostly blank, here to complete the document only)-
Ed_Haynes Posted November 1, 2005 Author Posted November 1, 2005 (edited) And I have another 20-30 pages or so, but I don't want to deluge the group.Yes, yes, I should learn Russian! I know that. The brain cells won't cooperate. They say they're full up. Edited November 1, 2005 by Ed_Haynes
Guest Rick Research Posted November 1, 2005 Posted November 1, 2005 Well, according to post #32 he was actually POLISH (question 3), spoke Russian and Polish (question 4) and had served 1917 in the old tsarist army (question 12) but I'm having trouble with the scan fuzz. A little closer but sharper like scan #34 would help.Joined the Red Army in 1st Vitebsk Regiment 3 June 1918....Major II/3614. (V?) 36 Commander 16rg Mechanized RegimentIV/37 ranked as a Colonel16/8/38 "to the reserve" (gloss gloss wallpaper whitewash)but back 29.5.39...
Ed_Haynes Posted November 1, 2005 Author Posted November 1, 2005 Let me see what I can do. In between the quality of the original Xeroxes and the size limits for scans, I am not sure how much I can do. Since this may be of some interest, beyond my group, let me try. I think this set of documents may duplicate information and do better:
