Thanks for this, Rick. And, from personal experience, I know what a total DRAG translation is. I had thought -- for a while -- that a had a couple of off-forum translators (one for pay, for for meals and booze) engaged, but both have evaporated. When I get research on my own, I pay (and wait and wait and . . .) for translations, but recent acquisitions have come from a good forum friend with good Russian (and I have almost NONE). Sorry. And ongoing thanks.

When you need HIndi or Urdu ytrabslations, you know who to call . . . Hindi-Busters?!

Alas, back in the Cold Days of my yout', I was educated in preparation for WW-3 under the Old Rules, what with being a Bush-Dean-Dunham and all-- so all my languishing "skills" were continentally-centric in expectation of THAT sort of Viceregal appointment. :cheers:

Big giant white SPLOT next to stamp sized photo on extremely/excessively detaailed "wher and when called up" top of second side. Shall omt that entirely as all entries partially obliterated.

Yes, Rick, it is almost worth getting the research re-done to get that white blob filled-in.
