Here is a Personal Card to Reserve Sergeant Major Stojan Hristov Kasov issued in Sofia in November 1942.
Although Kasov is older than Bulgaria (born 26th February 1875) and is first reported as a Sergeant Major it is impossible that he did not see service before the issue of this identification but it is not recorded. It is extremely likely that he served in the Balkan and European Wars (1912, 1913, 1915-18).
It has him reporting in Gurguljat (famous for the actions in the 1885-6 war) on 31st December 1942, 30th June 1943 and 30th June 1944 (All before Bulgaria was at war with the Soviet Union, 5th September 1944).
