Bob Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Old news but still nice:) www.president.mn 2009-08-24 President Elbegdorj confers war veteran a title of “Hero of the state” By the Decree of President of Mongolia, Tsakhia Elbegdorj, veterans of Khalkhyn Gol war (1939) were awarded with honorary titles and medals. Among them was Gungaa Dugaryn, veteran of 1939 Khalkhyn Gol battle, World War II, and 1944, 1947 battles of Western province, whom President Elbegdorj awarded with Hero of the State title, Order of Sukhbaatar, and “Golden Star” medal for his courage and selfless service to his country. Order of Sukhbaatar was awarded to veterans, Damdinjav Tsagaany, Unenbat Jigmedyn, Suren Nyamyn; Order of Red Banner of Military Merit was awarded to veterans, Nyam Dendevyn, Jamyan Damirangyn, Tseveldorj Sodnomyn, Tsookhuu Sharkhuugyn, Genden Tamjidyn, Ayurzana Buniagyn; Order of Military Merit was awarded to veterans Laagan Ochiryn, Luvsanbazar Damdingyn, Sanjaa Shagdaryn, Demberel Doljingyn, Lkhamjav Surengyn, Naran Munkh-Ochiryn, Sumiya Ognongyn. When addressing veterans, who fought for Mongolia’s independence and freedom, President Elbegdorj drew an example from the personal history of newly-awarded Hero of the State, Gungaa Dugaryn. He said “D. Gungaa is the pioneer and the leader of our courageous falcons, who fought for our country. In September 1939, in merely a month’s period, he carried out 158 battle flights, a number which counts as one the highest records set by combat pilots in the world warfare history. Moreover, he is one of the first combat pilots to fight in battles of western province, and a heroic patriot who put an end to the military confrontation with the Guomingdang force. Each and every one of you is a great hero, same as D.Gungaa, and your devotion, and patriotism will be remembered by our future generations and by the Government of Mongolia.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Here is my Golden Soyombo #419 made in Mongolia Thanks - very useful reference point. The numbering style looks very well aligned with 413 and 420 shown earlier in this thread. I do believe (off top of my memory) that these are post-socialist awarded ones though.

Bob Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Here's Soyombo nr 83. It came with Order of SB nr 561 which I unfortunately was not able to acquire. I am still keeping my fingers crossed to get document(s) related to the recipient. I have a strong hunch the recipient is nr 140.82 in the big blue book of awardees (page 47) - Zavkhan province herder if not mistaken? After having it in my hands for a while it became clear that the rivets were loose (not uncommon for this award) and I gently pried it open with my fingers, getting the entire front plate (with the blue enamel) off. Turned out that the recipient had glued it back together after the rivots had been broken and it appears he put a lot of effort into cleaning up the reverse causing it to be rather shiny. http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_10_2013/post-679-0-95590100-1381622414.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_10_2013/post-679-0-84083400-1381622425.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Lucky me - got some scans of documents related to Soyombo nr 83 First, the Soyombo document. This gives a name and I can look up his short bio in the big blue book of award bio's. Awarding was in 1967. Second, the award document for the SB nr 561 which the recipient received at the same time he was awarded the Soyombo. Unfortunately the actual SB order went to a different buyer Third, documents for a Red Banner of Labor (3100, awarded in 1979) and a Polar Star (7860, awarded in 1976) http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_10_2013/post-679-0-58033500-1381841886.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_10_2013/post-679-0-93170800-1381841891.jpg http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_10_2013/post-679-0-00715600-1381841899.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_10_2013/post-679-0-16799900-1381841904.jpg http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_10_2013/post-679-0-60895800-1381841909.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_10_2013/post-679-0-71209800-1381841952.jpg http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_10_2013/post-679-0-71408900-1381841921.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_10_2013/post-679-0-20772400-1381841930.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Angir Arbchad - indeed 140.82 from the big blue book. Will post bio later this week and hopefully obtain translation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 The carton inserts for award boxes belonging to the Soyombo and SB (which is not in my possession) just arrived. The numbers of the awards penciled on the back. Still hopeful of getting (eventually) some of the original award documents... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 More info on Angir Arihad, the recipient of the Hero of Labor nr 83 posted directly above and - fortunately - in my collection. First, from the "blue bible" which contains bio's on a lot of award recipients: 140.82 Angir Arihad (born in 1932) was born at Santmargats soum, Zavhan aimag. He was bestowed the title of the Hero of Labor of the Mongolian People’s Republic when he was working as the herder of the “Bayasgalant amidral” collective farm. Arihad has been working as the sheepherder since 1957. He has been fulfilling quotas for herds, wool and milk for many years. Arihad became the Champion herder of the Mongolian People’s Republic in 1979. He was awarded the Order of Sukhbaatar and many other awards. Arihad is an uncle of Merited worker of the Mongolian People’s Republic P. Damdinjav. Source: Aldar Gavyatny Urguu. 2007. Ulaanbatar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Second, more details from the decree related to him being awarded the Gold Soyombo. Have a scan of the decree itself unfortunately in PDF and too large to upload. This is probably very much a "classic" Soyombo recipient and it's nice to see that even (or: especially?) for relatively early awardings of the Hero of Labor title it was already considered that 'farming' is a highly appreciated activity worthy of such a high and rare award. ========================== DECREE OF THE PRESIDIUM OF THE PEOPLE’S GREAT KHURAL OF THE MONGOLIAN PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC February 2, 1967. Number 2. Ulaanbaatar. On bestowing the title of the Hero of Labor of the Mongolian People’s Republic Angir Arihad The Presidium of the People’s Great Khural of the MPR bestows the title of the Hero of Labor of the Mongolian People’s Republic and awards the Order of Sukhbaatar and Gold Soyombo Medal to Angir Arihad, a sheepherder of the collective farm “Bayasgalant Amidral” of Santmargats soum, Zavkhan aimag for outstanding labor achievements: rearing 670-782 heads of sheep with no loses during the last 3 years and over fulfilling the quotas for wool for every sheep over many years.

Bob Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Some pics of an item once offered for sale to me Compared with the Soyombo's, these get relatively little attention. Probably because the odds of ever getting one (or even just a document) are so slim. Having some detailed scans like this is good though in case any one of us gets lucky and can get one and needs some scans for comparison! http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_05_2014/post-679-0-49704000-1399024276.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_05_2014/post-679-0-33676900-1399024352.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
