Guest Rick Research Posted June 24, 2009 Share 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. ?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noor Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
