Family Surname: Zozovskiy - Зозовскій
Country: Ukraine
Date of Image: 1893 (+/-)

(Page 18 in military/service record booklet of Гершко Герцешовичъ Зозовскій - booklet in personal collection)
GOAL: a full translation of the *handwritten* text on page 18 (or as much of the text as is legible). And if anyone recognizes the stamp, any info about that would be wonderful too.
- Gershko[?] was a private ( Рябовой ) in Alexander III’s infantry, initially called in Nov 1887. He/his family was from Lyubar.
- I think this part of his booklet includes details about specific events/etc that occurred during his term of service; which is why I’d ultimately like as complete of a translation as possible.
- I know that this man ultimately fled the empire with his family before he was to be re-conscripted in 1902; and he was living in NYC by the year 1900 — so I’m trying to learn as much as possible about his whereabouts in the decade prior to arriving in the US.
Thank you very much for any help!!
