Hi Mark,
The first photo shows 3 booklets which are (from left to right):
They all seem to go together - his Red Army book lists him as VUS #114 which is some sort of metal worker. He completed a 3rd grade education and was mobilised at what looks like Staraya Russa Regional Military Commissariat on 23 June 1941. Need better scans to make out more info. On a later page this book may also list the award of his CSM.

The first photo shows 3 booklets which are (from left to right):
- a Red Army book (red star on front; ID issued while serving in the armed forces)
- A Medal Booklet (for the CSM - combat service medal)
- a Voenni Bilet (service record book issued after demobilisation). Has this got a paper cover on it. If so what is the colour of the original booklet. They are often red or green.
