Military service at the beginning of the 1950s (1)

I did not dare to say I fast

Interview with Haji Mohammad Hashem Soleimani

I had heard that Haji Mohammad Hashim Soleimani has served his soldiering in Pahlavi’s palaces between the years 1331 to 1333 (1952-1954). On a snowy day in the fall of 1394 (2015), I set off to Chonas village in Arak. Mr. Soleimani’s job was farming. And although he was born in 1312 (1933), but still speaks about some events of his twenties precisely and warmly. It has passed more than 63 years since that time, but he speaks as if it happened yesterday.

Susangerd, Occupation, Liberation (2)

An interview with Ghodratollah Bahari

I visited Colonel Ghasemi, commander of Ahvaz army, and introduced myself. I knew him before. He was commander of Battalion 255-Tank in which I had been trained M36 and M4 tanks. He was familiar with my spirit. He didn’t know my other past records, but had known with my spirit from that time I was in battalion for training. “Ghodrat! What are you doing here?” he called my name, “did you escape to Tehran?” I said: “Yes, but I was a volunteer.”

He, his friends: Mine and Moonlight

In Ali Khoshlafz’s memories, When Moonlight was lost

Someone asked:”Does the first manuscript in the book really belong to narrator?” Sometimes later the narrator said: ”When I want to write a letter, I ask my wife to do the job for me, the book’s manuscript belongs to my wife.”

Book manifests Ashura mourning in captivity during imposed war

Muharram and Ashura mourning held by the Iranian combatants in captivity during the imposed war of Iraq against Iran is manifested in the book “The leg which Left behind” by Seyyed Nasser Hosseinipour.

According to IBNA correspondent, the Sacred Defense is associated with the culture of Ashura. Black-clad warriors with tents and trenches in the first ten days of Muharram tried to keep the memory of friends and the glory of the rising of Imam Hussein (AS) alive in their hearts and stand against the enemy under the influence of that culture. IBNA has reviewed the Muharram in front lines through the lines written in the book ‘The leg left behind’.
