Guest Rick Research Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 :cheers: No-- just use 150dpi. You can get a much BIGGER image that is just as clear.He was a Major of Administrative ServiceBorn in the city of Priluki, Chernigorskaya OblastIn the Red Army since January 1919He 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 VARed Banner 201,997 for long service on 3.11.44OPW 2nd 531,698 on 15 June 1945 by dcree of 2nd VA (can't remember what that is the abbreviation for at the moment-- 2nd SOMETHING Army)Medal XX Jubilee of the Red Army # 19,407Order of Lenin 5 November 1946 which is quite a delay for long service-- he should have gotten this in February 1945 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipnos Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 Thanks a lot. Rick, as ever......A bit more of informationMiguel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 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.
