Imperial Russian uniform, prob before 1917?
My great-great uncle Bentsion Yoshpe
On the back of this picture-postcard, he says "...we are going against Austria...into Serbia." Possibly Serbian Campaign? We don't know, and would love some help identifying this uniform & the crossed medal! "131" on shoulder board is very intriguing.
Family legend says he was killed in the 1917 Revolution by the White Guard, but I don't think this particular uniform is pertinent to that conflict.

He served in 131 Tiraspol Infantry Regiment of the Russian Empire. On his breast a badge regiment.
