    Another pickup today-- Junior Lieutenant Ilya Mitrofanovich Zadorzhko wearing M1936 Chemical & Gas Troops branch insignia. Undated and unfortunately the stamp for his unit is illegible.

    Closeup of this seldom seen insignia:

    In addition to his resemblance to Dwight D. Eisenhower... the obvious question is: why are so many hats SMALL sized? :speechless1:

    I guess the Ethnic Minority Comrades got the icky lethal jobs--

    Lieutenant Iosif Zalmanoshevovich Iglitschyn, on 2.6.41 attested by an Intendant 3rd Rank at the Kalininsky Military School of Chemical Defense of the WPRA. :cheers:

    Mine's been scribbled over, voiding the assignment as is often seen with these file photos.

    But I think back then it was probably more handling POISON old WW1-style gas than Gas "Defense." :catjava::cheeky:
