It is top of the list of Service Records to do. I just have 40-50 more serial numbers to research and a handful of citations to request first. Slow and methodical but we'll get there in the end.

Backlog seems to be the keyword!

Here are two lists from mid-October 1941, showing him as in the Mortar Company of the 92nd Reserve Rifle Regiment, 13th Reserve Rifle Brigade, which lines up with him being a Mortarist during the First Battle Of Har'kov.

A tailor before the war.
