1943 Red Army Commander’s Clothing book

[Woolgar]

Just picked up this document which I believe is a clothing allowance booklet for Red Army Commanders.

These indeed show the handed out uniform and fieldgear but also weapons and mention awards as well.

Thanks Marcel
I’m going to ask my Wife to translate each page

From a quick glance I see he was in the mechanised artillery and all clothing and gear was provided in 1943 and renewed in 1944. Page 4 and 5 say when he received his pilotka, his shapka and gymnasterka. On page 2? under number 15 he received his leather boots. Did I miss anything else?

Thanks Marcel. I’m impressed with your level of reading the Russian language, puts me to shame
I have time on my hands now to knuckle down and study the language more

Just received some translation from my wife …He was also issued with Polotentse (towels), Rubacha ( shirts), Kalsony (long johns) and Portyanky (foot wraps)

…and he was Lieutenant Oreshnikov Efim Ivanovich
