Ed_Haynes Posted May 4, 2006 Author Share Posted May 4, 2006 The union membership book (and the problem?). First page seems OK enough (cf. http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=6043&st=34 and following posts). Photo removed, which is sad. The "dues" pages are all black, which makes me wonder.

I have seen this Unit 9999" before. Maybe it was just some section of the Soviet bureaucracy that dealt with awards to odd and exotic allies?

Ed_Haynes Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 Going through BOXES of loose and orphaned Mongolian documents, it seems that this "Unit 9999" was common for awards of the Societ Medal "Victory over Japan" to Mongolians.For example: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
