Tikhanovsky and date were made with one kind of tool and construction with a star and inscription „Sevastopol” were made with different tool over name „Tikhonov”. I guess this was made by other soldier probably when he took mess tin from dead Tikhanovsky.

I don’ Think that’s it It would be hard to travel all that way from Sakhalin to western Poland and pass basic training within 2 months.
Another thing is Nabil’ was a settlement and in KIA report there’s Gorodsky voenkomat mentioned.
One more I’d that all who were drafted in USSR had RVK and oblast’ geaven- here is only GVK and a city.
Another thing- there are two more man who had similar names of draft place geaven-Nakil’ and Naklya
Maybe that’s misspelled name Nakel or maybe someone made up their draft place name from familiar city name to avoid gaps in report due to lack of their known actual draft place?

Wow, not only an amazing story, but a great piece of history for your collection! Reading your thread, I almost felt like I was in that trench.
Thanks' for posting...... .

Right. I agree.
There are only two men, which Voenkomat resembles NABIL’.
The one is on Sakhalin, the other one in Tatar ASSR.
And TIKHANOVSKY is the third. That is it. This means that you explanation is valid. Otherwise I would expect more people be drafted from the same settlement.

That’s a nice one! Indeed reminds POW art.
Maybe I could suggest something B.I.A. and I. Bondarenko is the same person.
B.I.A. Might stand for „Bondarenko Ivan A...ovich”. Just my thought.

Captured Geman M31 mess kit
You can be right. If I take a closer look at the name, I read the name Бондаренко not Вондаренко. This could indeed match with the initials on the both parts of the mess kit. If I enter the name Бондаренко on the website podvignaroda.ru again, I will come across no less than 46154 persons with that family name!
Подвиг народа .
For instance the name Бондаренко Иван Антонович (Bondarenko Ivan Antonovich) appears frequently in the list but also Бондаренко Иван Алексеевич (Bondarenko Ivan Alekseevich) and Бондаренко Иван Афанасьевич (Bondarenko Ivan Afanasyevich).
It is actually impossible, certainly because I do not have a date of birth.

A very interesting item and research. These personal items are fascinating, more so when the original owners story can be told. Thanks for posting.
Totally agree!
