Name "Said", RMK Tashkent. I didn't think there could be that many Said's from Tashkent.
Didn't think of that. I tried by surname - it was rare enough.
The "o" and "a" may be confused in russian language sometime (especially unstressed "o"), but the name remainds me of turkish "hoca" or albanian "hoxha", that I didn't even think of such an obvious spelling mistake.

Good point. But on the other hand, his OPW2 info says 1911 as well. Also, he had that date in his service booklet - had he noticed the mistake, he would probably report it and had it changed. I would have done it in his place.
