Notes:
A majority of the 24 names on this list seem to be ethnically Russian, with the remainder Armenian. They had been detailed to the 1st Labor Battalion's detachment at Trunska Klisura, a pass from Bulgaria into the Bulgarian-annexed portion of Serbia. The 24 men are named along with YOBs for some, and the hometowns of each man in Bulgaria. The majority came from Sofia with one man each from Plovdiv and Peshtera. Release from forced labor was due to the "third brother" clause, i.e., exemption if two brothers from the same family were already in service.
