Speciality Codes on Documents

UQWozza · 04-17-2007, 09:52 PM

Many documents carry the specialty code of servicemen/women.

Does anyone know of an accessible list of these codes?

For example I am aware that:

01 = Infantryman
14 = Mortarman
48 = Telephone operator/cable layer
73 = Weather forecaster
121 = Medical instructor
126(i) = Military tailor shop supervisor
292 = Dentist

But what about 6, 7, 17, 21, 26, 113, 114, 123, 128 or 276?

Hi Marc,

Basically ID documents such as Voenni Bilets or Red Army Books.

Examples are attached:

1. Red Voenni Bilet from 1946.

2. Gray/green Reserve Voenni Bilet from 1949.

3. Red Army book from 1945.

I had to drop the resolution to get the whole spread of each book onto the site.

The fourth picture contains the highlighted material from the three books.
