You can't read it because it isn't there-- it is off the margin at left, not copied. I hope you have his Awards Record Card.

He was a (off page) of Administrative Services at (off page) Operational Instruction Unit Military Warehouse (? 309 2 VA ?)

Name Trofim Ivanovich Salat, Ukrainian, peasant, born 1899. Holder of the 1918-1938 Jubilee Medal.

:cheers: No-- just use 150dpi. You can get a much BIGGER image that is just as clear.

He was a Major of Administrative Service

Born in the city of Priluki, Chernigorskaya Oblast

In the Red Army since January 1919

He was decorated and was still in the same position when the ARC was filled out (15 cannot read month 1946) as Commander of Operational-Instructional Unit (whatever THAT meant) of Military Warehouse 309.

Military Merit Medal 1,537,431 on 7 October 1944 by decree of 2nd VA

Red Banner 201,997 for long service on 3.11.44

That is too small and fuzzy for my 1 eye. You can scan it in 2 pieces 50% bigger.

He was a copyist (Perepischik) at brigade and division and army staffs in the early 1920s, so his handwriting was good. Or maybe not!

He served at Military Warehouse/Depot (Sklad) 309 from July 1939 until his retirement (for age presumably) in March 1949. That seems to have been the main military warehouse for something (automobiles?) of the .... Military District. Before that he was at Military Warehouse/Depot 27 from August 1928 to July 1939. That doesn't sound very exciting-- but he survived the Great Purge and must have been of some importance to have remained in positions for such lengthy periods of time.

I can't SEE any better.
