Ed_Haynes Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Nice. Would love to see how they have their converted-to-Soviet-suspension Mongolian medals mounted. On what ribbon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Haynes Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 They are mounted on the ribbons used for the ribbonbars.JanIn some cases, perhaps, in many others though "foreign" awards were just mounted from plain red ribbons. Not clear on all these photos which procedure was being used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Take an empty shoebox with you and bring back some original snapshot portraits from the local sellers when you're there this summer. And scope out any still with us Khalkin Gol veterans-- it appears the rank and file got 1945 "flowing banner" badges and NOT the 1940 "notched banner" type. Time's speeding-- when are you off?

Guest Darrell Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Does Tsedenbal count? Here shown with his "better half". (Those of you who ever think of mail-order Russian brides, consider this photo.)(Battushig, p. 21)Wonder what she got HER medal for? Falling off the Ugly Tree and surviving?

Guest Rick Research Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Interesting to note the bizarre NON-precedence of ribbons in #s63-64, with FOREIGN clutter (including Cuban, so not just the Moscow Big Brothers) ahead of domestic awards, all higgledy-piggeldy.#65 is quite peculiar collar rank insignia-- which shows how little we KNOW. Otherwise that NCO?/officer? seems to be fully kitted out in Soviet gear, except his cap badge and tabs.Ditto the sleeve insignia in #68. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
