Lieutenant General Jambyn Jamyan (1916-2007)

Here another picture of Jamyan (dated 1978) - more to follow

Here a very nice picture of Jamyan with a group of generals.

Of particular interest is the General (second on right; Jamyan himself is 3rd on the right) with as it appears 2 Soviet Orders of Red Banner and (possibly) also a Order of Friendship?

His name is is Lt. General Tseden-Ish. He was for many years the Vice-Minister of Public Security and Chief of Border Guard Troops Department. He was apparently one of the best border guard commanding officers. His picture is also illustrated in Urnukh Khuuji's book p. # 119.

Picture is dated 2004: "celebration of the 60th anniversary of the institution of the 'Mongolian General rank"

And here a great picture (1981) of Jamyan with a group of Partisans of the revolution.

Great photos!

It is quite extraordinary how much can be dug up... I'm sure there are many factors working in your favour.

Some additional, unfortunately undocumented, badges came my way which - from reliable source - also belonged to Jamyan and are an indication of the time he spent in Europe. Also a reminder for me to dig up the stack of documents which I had not reviewed (or posted) in great detail. They may fit to some of these:

1) Mongolian Honorary Badge of the People's Control and Inspection Committee of the MPR. Serial number 308
2) Hungarian Civil Defense 30 Year anniversary Badge
3) Hungarian Civil Defense Badge (beautiful tiny badge with machine gun on it)
4) Bulgarian Badge of the People's Control of the Socialist Bulgaria
5) Bulgarian Badge of the International Children's Assembly held in Sofia in 1979. Silver made, with peace sign on it
6) Bulgarian Honorary Badge of Central Committee for Fighting Fascism and Capitalism (1923-1944) with red star
7) Bulgarian Honorary Badge of Central Committee for Fighting Fascism and Capitalism (1923-1944) without red star

And... one more pic

Hopefully more to come on Jamyan in the future.
