Just east of Ulanbaatar, the war memorial of Khentii aimag (province).

A tapesty representing the famous meeting between Sukhbaatar and Lenin (which never happened).

And then they told me I wasn't supposed to be taking pictures. (Oops.) And they watched me.

Some very interesting displays on various heroes (military and civl) from the area and an especially nice displays on the provincial partisans of 1941 (but few medals).

Hi Ed,

Excellent photos. These and the museum really give me the will to go there, in Mongolia. I have to manage to do that...

Many thanks.
