Temporary Identification 137th Separate Regiment Naval Infantry, September 1942

[CtahhR]

Here is a document I found within a pile of documents today. Unlike most other documents in my collection this isn't on poor quality paper but something more like very heavy grease-proof paper or light parchment. The 137th Separate Regiment of Naval Infantry were part of the 1st Novorossijsk operation of 19th August - 26th September 1942 with the Soviet defenders in a dire situation. The ink quality is poor (and noticeably hand written) and I have had to play with this scanned image considerably to encourage the text out. Apart from this referring to a Senior Lt. Vladimir Grigor'evich Litvinov on the 24th September 1942.
