Sodnomdarjaa (photo taken in 1935) with the first deputy Commander of the Mongolian People’s Revolutionary Army 1st Commissar O. Dashchirav

Sodnomdarjaa (photo taken in 1959) with all his awards. The resolution of the photo is very good. When zoomed (at least, in the version I have which is too much MB to post here), you can see the letters “R.S.F.S.R” on his Red Banner. Visible is also the enamel damage to the Red Banner which is in line with the Red Banner in my hands.

More to come in due course (fingers crossed)...

Voroshilov during his visit to Mongolia in 1957. He is with Tsedenbal and they are meeting with Sodomdarjaa and Togtokh.

Sodnomdarjaa is posing with comrades including the Deputy Commander of Mongolian People's Revolutionary Army Sambuu to his right(circa mid 1930s).

Two more pics: Sodnomdarjaa in 1930s and another one where he has rosettes beneath his orders (rarely found these rosettes unfortunately).
