Guest Rick Research Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 The thing that has been bugging me is--while he wears the insignia of an ordinary private, the leather cross belt and pockets on his gimnastyorka would indicate an officer. Yet he is not wearing any form of Cadet-grade insignia. ??????
Noor Posted June 24, 2009 Author Posted June 24, 2009 Very good point Rick.Just MAYBE in Artillery, even privates who was working some specific area, they was wearing leather pocket for maps, etc on the belt?
