I thought that it was strange that he was from Frunze and yet in Leningrad and also with a Russian name.
How is it that only now do I see the word "Leningrad" on the stamp on the second document? Is anything that was named Frunze not now renamed?
This pair of documents were saved from destruction and are now in the collection.
The Official Memorial Website often has information above and beyond that supplied on these notifications and also breaks down the information of each KIA into easily translatable text.
The "early" death is Private Vasilij Jakovlevich Lohankov also from the Frunze district of Leningrad who was serving in the 260th Rifle Regiment when he died on 10th December 1941 (2 months into the siege of Leningrad). Additional information in attached photograph.
The "later" is Starshina Vasilij Ivanovich Mareev, born in 1907, from Belarus, died on 31st January 1944, who is apparently now in a mass grave. The 16th of 17 men of the same name to be killed in the GPW. Is this another Leningrad casualty?
